📊 State Properties Breakdown
Shape
Definite Shape (Holds its own fixed shape)
Volume
Definite Volume (Takes up a constant amount of space)
Particle Movement & Spacing
Tightly packed in a fixed crystalline lattice. Particles only vibrate in place and cannot slide past each other.
Kinetic Energy Level
LOW
💡 Physics Insight
Key Takeaway: Temperature is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of particles! When you add heat, particles move faster and spread farther apart!
