WebQuest: Solids, Liquids, and Gases In this WebQuest, you will use the States of Matter interactive to explore similarities and differences among the particle motion of solids, liquids and gases. Part I: How do particle arrangements and motions differ for solids, liquids, and gases

Explanation:(differences)SOLIDS have maximum intermolecular attraction and fixed shape so their particles are stable. LIQUIDS have small particles and are tightly held by molecular bond but not as tight as solid. liquid assume the shape of their container.GAS has free movement of particles...SIMILARITIES.. Liquid,solid and gases can be kept in containers...

Arraignment

Gas- (or vapor). Has an unstable shape or volume, it takes the shape or volume of its container. Gas can be compacted into a smaller container or expanded to fit a large container.

Liquid- The volume of liquid is independent from its container, but the shape of the liquid is container- dependent.

Solid- Solid matter has a definitive shape and volume.

Motion

Gas- Gas molecules move at a high velocity and are far apart, and they are constantly colliding with each other and the walls of the container. When gas molecules are compacted into a smaller container their frequency increases, due to the decreased distance between the molecules.

Liquid- Liquid molecules are crammed close together, but are able to move swiftly causing the molecules to glide over one another, as a result liquid pours easily.

Solid- Solid molecules are arranged in a definite position, thus held tightly together. The molecules can only wiggle slightly, but stay fixed in their position

Explanation: To convert from one state of matter to another, one needs to change the temperature or pressure.
