9060890554Describe the shape and volume of a solid.Definite shape and definite volume.1
9060890555How do the particles move in a solid?The particles in a solid are packed tightly together and only vibrate gently around fixed positions.2
9060890556Describe the shape and volume of a liquid.Have no shape of their own but take the shape of their container. A liquid has a definite volume.3
9060890557How do the particles move in a liquid?The particles in a liquid are free to move.4
9060890558Describe the shape and volume of gases.Have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.5
9060890559How do the particles move in a Gas?The particles in a Gas spread apart filling all the space of the container available to them.6
9060890560Solids fall broadly into how many categories?Two7
9060890561What are the categories that solids broadly fall into?Crystalline And a amorphous8
9060890562Define crystalline.Where a regular, ordered, repeatable 3-D Structure of particles is found.9
9060890563Define amorphous.Where the arrangement of particles is not regular or ordered.10
9060890564Describe the movement of particles in the solids as crystalline or amorphous.In both cases, the particles in the solid have very little energy and move very little in relation to one another. They are sometimes described as 'vibrating around fixed positions.'11
9060890565Describe the movement of particles in liquids.Particles in liquids are constantly moving and colliding with one another, have significantly greater energy and move a lot in relation to one another.12
9060890566Since solids and liquids tend to have their particles very close together. Their volumes are often very similar. What does this mean?They have strong forces of attraction.13
9060890567***Since, in a Gas, the particles possess enough energy to overcome any intermolecular forces and hence move around completely freely and with large spaces between them, a liquid represents particles in an intermediate state between the extremely ordered and low energy state of a solid, and the extremely disordered and high energy state of a Gas.***14
9060890568All the properties of solids and liquids such as viscosity, surface tension, hardness etc., are dependent upon what?1. How the particles that make up the solid or liquid are arranged 2. The extent of the attractions between those particles15
9060890569Define viscosity.Thickness- resistance to motion16
9060890570Gases are made up of particles that have what kind of energy?(Relatively) large amounts17
9060890571A Gas has no definite ___________________ and will expand to ______________?Shape or volume; fill as much space as possible18
9060890572As a result of the large amount of empty space in a volume of gas, gases are ____________________?Easily compressed19
9060890573A pressure is what?Exerted when the gas particles collide with the walls of any container it is held in.20
9060890574***1.00 atm= 760. mmHg= 760. Torr*** ON EQUATION TABLE21

9060890577What is the basis for many properties of gases?The Kinetic molecular theory24
9060890578What are the five postulates of the Kinetic molecular theory?1. Gases are composed of tiny particles (atoms or molecules) whose size is negligible compared to the average distance between them; the total volume that the gas fills is almost all empty space; the observation that gases are compressible. 2. The gas particles move randomly, in straight lines, in all directions and at various speeds. 3. The forces of attraction or repulsion between two gas particles are negligible, except when they collide. 4. When particles collide with one another, the collisions are elastic. The collisions with the walls of the container create the gas pressure. Elastic collisions do not spontaneously convert to the liquid. 5. The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the Kelvin temperature and as a result, all calculations involving gases should be carried out with temperatures converted to K.25
9060890579***These assumptions do have limitations. For example, gases can be liquified if cooled enough. This means "real" gas particles do attract one another to some extent; otherwise the particles would never stick to one another and therefore never condense to form a liquid.***26
