This diagram demonstrates the solid matter diagram. As you can see, the molecules are closely compacted. Unlike liquid and gas, it would be hard to simply "add on" another solid molecule in this state of matter. This diagram shows the particle formation in liquids. The particles are compacted, but not as close as the solid diagram, seen above. The loose compaction allows the particles to "flow over" each other. This third diagram shows the comparison between gas, liquid and solid matter. As you can see there is large difference between liquid and solid. However the biggest difference is between solid and gas, because the gas is completely spaced out.

This diagram demonstrates the comparison between states of matters yet again. But it also proposes a fourth addition to the three groups. It also shows a energy level meter. With solid being the lowest energy levels and with plasma being the highest.

This diagram shows these gas particles bouncing off the walls of their container. This demonstrates the energy levels of gas, which tends to be quite high.

Patterns in chemicals task 3:

The differance is that the particles in gas is very sparsely compacted and are therefore quite hard to feel. In most liquids, it is compaced, but not compacted enough to be a solid, they can be felt quite easily, except for incredibly light liquids. Solids are the most easily felt of all the compounds. Humans, for example, are made of solid material and so are desks, computers and other items such as wood, plastic and concrete.

1. What is Sublimation? Sublimation is when a solid transforms into a gas without any liquid transformation. It commonly occours in substances such as dry ice and snow.
