What happens when you blow a bubble with gum?
You fill the bubble gum with gas molecules from your lungs.
What is one additional state of matter?
plasma or Bose-Einstein
Squeezing all the gas energy that wants to take up a lot of volume into a tiny space is called what?
Compressed gas
How do hot air balloons raise up off the ground?
The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon- when something is less dense it floats.
Why do people use salt on the roads in winter?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water.
What is heat energy?
.... has to do with how cold or hot something is.
What are the three main states of matter?
Solid, liquid, and gas.
What is the freezing point of water?
0 C
The thickness or resistance to flow in a liquid.
What is viscosity?
Water molecules have special bonds that hold them together. As the molecules on the surface of the water stick together, they form an invisible "skin".
What is surface tension?
Something changes from a liquid to a gas.
... is a state of matter with particles that don't have a specific volume or shape; the particles take on the volume and shape of their container.
What is a gas?
Anything that has a specific shape and size.
What is a solid?
A substance that is free to flow, with no particular shape. It takes on the shape of whatever is holding it.
Gas state
What causes one state of matter to change into another state?
Heating and cooling
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid; the same as freezing point.
What is melting point?
What temperature is the boiling point of water?
100 C
What is a freezing point?
The temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid.
What is an Amorphous solid or non-Newtonian liquid?
A liquid that doesn't behave like a other liquids. It gets solid with pressure rather than from cooling.
Which state of matter is composed of atoms that are frozen in place?
The solid state
Which state of matter is composed of atoms that are bound together but do not have a specific form?
The liquid state
The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas.
What is boiling point?
Which state of matter is composed of atoms that are freely moving about, expanding to take up as much space as is available?
The gas state
The temperature at which a gas becomes a liquid; the same as the boiling point.
What is the condensation point?
