    The document discusses the microscopic differences between gases, liquids, and solids. Particles in gases are well-separated and move freely at high speeds. Particles in liquids are close together and can slide past one another. Particles in solids are tightly packed in a regular pattern and vibrate but do not move from place to place. The document also provides characteristics of the three phases and explains them using the microscopic behavior of the particles.

    Lesson Continuous :

    Day 4

    Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these
    particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.

    Microscopic view of a gas.

    Microscopic view of a liquid.

    Microscopic view of a solid.

    Particles in a:
    gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
    liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
    solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

    Particles in a:
    gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.

    liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.


    solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.

    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

    Preparation for next Lesson:


    Measurement of matter : Matter has weight and volume. The amount of
    space matter takes up is called the volume. Different devices like a
    measuring cup, measuring jar, graduate and pipette can be used to measure
    volumes.
