Why solids are incompressible

Particles very close, no space to move closer

Why liquids can flow

Particles move around each other

Why gases are compressible

Large spaces between particles

Particle arrangement in solids

Regular pattern

Particle movement in solids

Vibrate around fixed positions

Particle movement in liquids

Move around each other

Energy level of gas particles

Highest energy

Sublimation

Solid to gas directly without becoming liquid

Example of sublimation

Solid carbon dioxide (dry ice)

Energy requirement for melting

Energy transferred by heating

Where evaporation occurs

Surface of liquid only

Where boiling occurs

Bubbles form throughout liquid

Effect of stronger forces on melting/boiling pts

Higher melting and boiling points

Energy during condensing/freezing

Energy transferred to surroundings

State when temp > boiling point

Gas
