Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior | ||
---|---|---|
gas | liquid | solid |
assumes the shape and volume of its container particles can move past one another |
assumes the shape of the part of the container which it
occupies particles can move/slide past one another |
retains a fixed volume and shape rigid - particles locked into place |
compressible lots of free space between particles |
not easily compressible little free space between particles |
not easily compressible little free space between particles |
flows easily particles can move past one another |
flows easily particles can move/slide past one another |
does not flow easily rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another |
