Water Phase Change Graph

Water Phase Change Graph
2
Solid

• A solid has a definite shape and volume
• The particles are packed tightly together and the
  only motion is vibration.

3
Liquid

• A liquid has a definite volume, but takes the
  shape of its container
• The particles are also tightly packed, almost as
  close as a solid, but the particles are free to
  move

4
Gas

• A gas has no definite shape and no definite
  volume.
• The high energy particles move freely
