Chemistry
-A front is a boundary between two air masses
-Everything is made of tiny pieces called atoms
-Matter=Anything that occupies space and has mass
-Atoms join together to form molecules.
Solids
-Particles are packed close together and are fixed in position, although they vibrate.
-The close packing of the particles result in solids being incompressible.
-The inability of the particles to move around results in solids retaining their shape
and volume when placed in a new container and prevents the particles from flowing.
Liquids
-Particles are closely packed, but they have some ability to move around.
-The close packing results in liquids being incompressible.
-The ability of the particles to move allows liquids to take the shape of their container
and to flow. However, they dont have enough freedom to escape and do not expand to fill
the container.
Gases
-Particles have complete freedom from each other.
-The particles are constantly flying around, bumping into each other and the container.
-There is a lot of empty space between the particles
-Because there is a lot of empty space, the particles can be squeezed closer together.
Therefore, gases are compressible.
-Because the particles are not held in close contact and are moving freely, gases expand to
fill and take the shape of their container, and will flow.

Document Summary

A front is a boundary between two air masses. Everything is made of tiny pieces called atoms. Matter= anything that occupies space and has mass. Particles are packed close together and are fixed in position, although they vibrate. The close packing of the particles result in solids being incompressible. The inability of the particles to move around results in solids retaining their shape and volume when placed in a new container and prevents the particles from flowing. Particles are closely packed, but they have some ability to move around. The close packing results in liquids being incompressible. The ability of the particles to move allows liquids to take the shape of their container and to flow. However, they don t have enough freedom to escape and do not expand to fill the container. Particles have complete freedom from each other. The particles are constantly flying around, bumping into each other and the container.
