    Particle Models of Solids, Liquids and Gases

    Uploaded by

    Ivana Baric
    This document describes the properties of solids, liquids, and gases using a particle model. It states that solids have a fixed shape and volume, cannot be compressed, and have high density. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume, can flow, and have medium density. Gases have no definite shape or volume, can be easily compressed, flow freely, and have low density due to their particles being far apart.
