| Front | Describe the difference of density, in terms of particles, between the 3 states of matter |
| Back | Solids - In a solid, the particles are arranged in a fixed, regular form, this is due to the strong forces of attraction between them. The particles don't have much energy as they remain fixed, therefore do not have much kinetic energy so. instead, vibrate about their fixed positionsLiquids - In a liquid, the particles are close together, however, they can slide over each other, this is due to the weaker forces of attraction, therefore causes an irreguular arrangement. They have more energy than the particles in a solid, and move in randon directions at low speedGas - In a gas, the particles have no arrangements, and constantly move in random directions at randoom speeds. There are almost no forces of attraction between the particles, but they have more energy than liquids and solids as they have more kinetic energy |
