Find out what particle arrangements and movements are in solids, liquids, and gases in this BBC Bitesize KS3 physics guide.

Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...

The characteristics of these particles will help you understand why the phases of matter - solids, liquids and gases - differ from one an-other.Firstly, it depends on how close together the particles ...

The particles of a gas are much more spread out and move more independently compared to the particles of liquids and solids. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas at a certain temperature ...

Liquid crystals and liquid glass are among these peculiar states, but they are not alone. “We all observe in everyday life at least three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

States of Matter: Matter around us exists in three different states– solid, liquid and gas. These states of matter arise due to the variation in the characteristics of the particles of matter.

In everyday life, all matter exists as either a gas, liquid, or solid. In quantum mechanics, however, it is possible for two ...

Some particles gain a neighbor and others lose one, although the large-scale order of the material remains unchanged. “These defects are actually the ‘seeds’ that create the hexatic phase ...

Frozen helium prepared in a laboratory has apparently transformed into a superfluid solid, or supersolid—a never-before-seen phase of matter that theorists predicted more than 30 years ago.

The three basic states of matter we know, but there’s a fourth that’s WAY more common than you might think. This week is all ...
