particles everywhere

All matter has particles.

the textbook was so long winded so i have summarised the whole table of the arrangement and movemant of particles.

IN SOLID: Particles in this state are in neat rows, little space between them . they do not move around but only vibrate in their fixed position.


IN LIQUID: In this state, the arrangement of particles are the same as the solid state. however, it is untidy and can move freely in the liquid.


IN GAS: the particles are completely opposite of the particles in solid, far apart, move freely, and has lots of space in between each other.


reflection on this chapter:


i feel that i am doing more of chemistry than phisics at first, however, i realised they are both different. chemistry is like essays of answers. physics is more of understanding than memorising.


Physics is all around us.
