Kinetic Particle Theory

State of matter	Properties	How are the particles arranged?	Explanation for the movement of the particles.	Inter-particles force	Inter-particle distance	Shape	Compression	Motion of particles
Solid	Fixed shape, Fixed volume,	-Molecules are closely packed in a regular pattern	-Vibrate about in fixed position	-Very strong attraction	-Close	Fixed shape	Cannot be compressed	Vibrate about at fixed position
	High density	-This accounts for high density of solids	-Very strong intermolecular bonds
			-This accounts for why solids have foxed volume shape
Liquid	No fixed shape, Fixed volume,	-Molecules are slightly further than that in the solid	-Free to move about between the molecules therefore no fixed shape	-Strong attraction	-Far apart	Take the shape of the container	Cannot be compressed	Random rotation and translation
	High density	-This accounts for high density of liquid	-Very strong intermolecular forces so there is fixed volume
Gas	No fixed shape, No fixed volume, Low density	-Molecules are very far apart	-High speed and move in a random manner	-Weak attraction	-Very far apart	Entirely fills the container	Easily compressed	Random rotation and translation
		-This accounts for low density of gas	-Intermolecular forces are negligible
			-No fixed volume
			-No fixed shape
			-Highly compressible
