What are amorphous solids?
Solids whose particles are not arranged in a regular pattern. They have no distinct melting point. Examples: plastic, rubber, glass. 6. Define liquid. A liquid has no shape of its own. They do not easily compress or expand. 7. Describe the particles in a liquid. Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume. 8. What is viscosity? A liquid is also called a fluid and the resistance of a liquid to flowing is called viscosity. Liquids with high viscosity flow slowly. Examples: cold molasses, cold honey, hair gel. 9. Describe gas. A gas can change volume easily because a gas spreads out to fill its container. Gas particles spread apart, filling the space available to them. Thus, a gas has neither definite shape nor volume. 10. How do we measure gases? Volume, temperature, pressure. 11. Define volume. Amount of space that matter fills. 12. Define temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average energy of motion of the part
