of Matter
of Matter
this state has definite shape and a definite volume.
what is a solid
When a liquid is cooled it becomes what
What is a solid?
Phase change of a solid turning into a liquid
What is melting
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter
The law that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed
What is the law of conservation of matter
this state has an indefinite shape and a definite volume.
what is liquid
When heat is added to a liquid it becomes what
What is a gas
Change from a liquid to a solid
What is freezing
A group of atoms held together by chemical bonds
What are molecules
As a solid turns to a liquid it's what happens to the thermal energy
What is increases
what are the 4 states of matter
what is solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
When a gas is cooled it becomes a what
What is a liquid
Phase change of a gas turning into a liquid
What is condensation
A liquid's resistance to flow
What is vicosity
What are all molecules always in a constant state of
What is motion
this state has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.
what is gas
What must happen for matter to change states
What is it must gain or lose energy
When heat is added to a liquid and becomes a gas.
What is evaporation
A solid with particles arranged in a repeating 3-D pattern
What is a crystalline solid
What happens when an object's kinetic energy increases
What is the particles move faster
this state is a very good conductor of electricity and is affected by magnetic fields.
what is plasma
what is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state.
what is sublimation
Gas to a Solid
what is Deposition
A solid with particles placed randomly
What is an amorphous solid
The average kinetic energy of the individual particles in a substance
What is temperature
