5.9 and 5.10 starter (Corrections in Yellow)

Tell the person next to you…

·         How do particles in move in a solid, a liquid and a gas?

·         Describe…

o    speed of particles

o    relative position of particles (fixed or not)

o    pattern of particles (regularly arranged or not)

o    size of the particles

o    space between the particles

o    strength of bonds between the particles

 

 

 

Use the animation to verify your answers

 

 

  

·         5.9 recall that particles in a liquid have a random motion within a close-packed irregular structure

·         5.10 recall that particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions within a close-packed regular structure

·         closely packed

·         regular pattern

·         vibrate about a fixed position

·         fixed shape

·         not easily compressed since particles are closely packed

·         Strong bonds

Liquid

 

Image001

·         closely packed

·         no pattern

·         free to flow over each other

·         takes shape of its container

·         can be poured

·         not easily compressed since particles are closely packed

·         Weak bonds

Gases

 

Image003

·         widely spaced

·         no pattern

·         very fast moving
