The Particle Theory

The particles of a solid are:

• Allowed to flow freely

• Move to fill up the container they're in

• Made of hard objects

An example of a solid is: (Bonus points for creativity)

• Flies

• Melts

• Goes home

• Floats

Sublimation refers to when an object:

• Changes from liquid to a gas

• Wet

If an object remains at the bottom of a container and takes the shape of the container as well it is a _____.

_______ is when a liquid turns into a solid.

The scientific term for when a liquid turns to a gas is:

• Absorption

The particles of a gas:

• Move around in straight lines in any direction

• Have attractive forces between them

• Collide off one another

• Move to fill up a container

• Stick to the top of a container

The process where a gas turns to a liquid is:

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Rectification

• Absorption
