Solids
How are solid particles arranged?
(draw)
fixed, in rows and columns
How are liquid particles arranged?
(draw)
packed together, no in specific structure
How are gas particles arranged?
(draw)
all over the place
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
The bird on the flag of the state of Iowa
What is a bald eagle?
This term describes the change from a solid to a liquid.
This term describes the change from a gas to a liquid.
What is condensation?
This term describes the change from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporating?
This state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is a liquid?
This predatory bird, often associated with wisdom, is active at night.
What is an owl?
Do particles in a solid stay completely still? Explain.
No, they vibrate.
Describe the way particles move in a liquid.
They move more than a solid, but less than a gas. They can move freely around each other
Describe the way a gas particle moves.
Freely and fastly around the container that it is in.
This state of matter has no definite shape or volume.
What is a gas?
This animal's tongue can be as long as its body and is used to clean its ears.
What is a giraffe?
Why does a solid usually keep its shape when moved to a different container?
Solid particles are bound together very tightly and cannot move away from each other.
Why does a liquid take the shape of its container but keep its volume?
Because the particles are bound to each other but can move past and around each other.
Why does a gas take the volume and shape of the container it is in?
Because gases can move freely and are not bound to each other they expand as much as they can.
Which state of matter has particles that are generally moving the fastest at the same temperature comparison: solid, liquid, or gas?
Gas
This underwater creature has 3 hearts and blue blood.
What is an octopus?
This type of solid softens at high temperatures and is able to behave in a way similar to liquids.
What is an amorphous solid?
A liquid is heated until it changes into a gas throughout the liquid. What is this process called?
Vaporization
A gas is placed in a sealed container. What happens to its pressure if the container's volume decreases while temperature stays constant?
The pressure increases
Solids and Gases can change directly to each other without changing to a liquid when conditions are right. What are these two processes called?
Sublimation and Deposition
The largest planet in our solar system.
What is Jupiter?
