Phases of Matter Solids – Tightly packed particles, particles

are locked.

Phases of Matter Solids – Tightly packed particles, particles

are locked. Liquids – Loosely packed particles,

particles can slide past each other (flow).

Phases of Matter Solids – Tightly packed particles, particles

are locked. Liquids – Loosely packed particles,

particles can slide past each other (flow). Gases – Particles are spaced apart (a lot of

space between them), particles can flow.

have had their electrons ripped off.
