1
Particle Motion in States of Matter
By Jessica Freeman
2
Explain how the motion and arrangement of particels differ in solids, liquids, and gases.
Objective:
3
Multiple Choice
Which particle arrangement represents a gaseous state?
4
What Makes Gas … Gas?
• Has no fixed shape
• Has no fixed volume
• Made of particles that move rapidly
• The particles also have large spaces between them
in comparison to solids and liquids
5
Examples of Gases are
Steam
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Smog
Tear Gas
Helium
6
Draw
Draw an example of gas using particle arrangement.
7
• Has no fixed shape
•Has a fixed volume
• Particles move past one another easily
• Particles are fairly close, but not in a neat
even arrangement as the particles in a solid
are
8
9
Draw
Draw an example of liquid using particle arrangement.
10
Solids
• Has a fixed shape
• Has a fixed volume
• Particles are arranged in a tight, regular pattern
• Particles move very little
11
Draw
Draw an example of solid using particle arrangement.

Multiple Choice
What type of solid contains particles that are jumbled and form no particular pattern?
Crystalline
Amorphous
High-density
Low-volume
17
18
Particle motion in a liquid
19
20
Particle motion in a gas.
21
22
Multiple Choice
What is the best way to describe particles in a gas?
Very energetic
Vibrating in place
Completely still
Closely packed
23
24
Multiple Choice
Which of the following depicts particles in a solid?
25
Multiple Choice
What is the three types of states of matter?
rocks, water, lava
Solids, Liquids, Gases
26
27
28
Multiple Select
When heat is added to the matter what happens to it?
They move slowly
They move faster
29

32
Open Ended
Give one example of a Solid, Liquid and a Gas.
33
Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
34
35
36
37
Multiple Choice
Rank the states of matter from the least amount of energy to most amount of energy.
Liquid, gas, solid
Solid, liquid, gas
Solid, gas, liquid
Gas, liquid, solid
38
Multiple Choice
If you removed enough heat from the sample below, what would it change into?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
It would stay the same
39
Multiple Choice
What enables liquid water to take the shape of its container?
The molecules of liquid water are moving but still have enough attraction to one another.
The molecules of liquid water are held tightly together by intermolecular forces.
The molecules of liquid water are smaller than in any other phase.
The molecules of water move very fast and stay far away from each other.
40
When they are close together, molecules are attracted through
intermolecular forces.
These forces are not as strong as the chemical bonds between atoms, but are strong enough to attach neighboring molecules to each other.
Intermolecular Forces
They hold everything together
41
Hold their shape
Do not flow
Particles vibrate in place; don't move far
Solids
Hold their volume
Does flow
Particles are close together but have enough energy to move around freely
Liquids
Does not hold it's volume (can compress or expand)
Does flow
Particles have lots of energy and move around freely
Gases
42
Multiple Select
Which statements correctly describe the behavior of particles in liquids?
Particles in liquids can move more freely past each other.
Attractive forces in liquids are stronger than in solids.
Liquids take the shape of their container due to particle motion.
Particles in liquids are stuck in place.
43
Multiple Choice
Which of the following best describes the movement of particles in a solid?
Particles are stuck in place with very little to no movement.
Particles move freely and rapidly in all directions.
Particles can move past each other but are still attracted to one another.
Particles are widely spread and have no attractive forces.
44
Multiple Select
Select all that apply for Solids
Strongest Intermolecular Forces
Weakest Intermolecular Forces
Smallest Amount of Particle Movement
Most Amount of Particle Movement
45
Multiple Select
Select all that apply for Gases
Strongest Intermolecular Forces
Weakest Intermolecular Forces
Smallest Amount of Particle Movement
Most Amount of Particle Movement
46
Multiple Choice
What happens to molecules as you increase the temperature of a substance?
The molecules move Slower
The molecules undergo pentatonix
The molecules move faster
The atoms undergo transmutation
47
Multiple Choice
At higher temperatures
particles in an object have less kinetic energy
particles in an object move faster
a gas contracts
48
Multiple Choice
Thermal energy is...
heat energy
the energy of motion
energy of nuclear processes.
an indication of physical change.
