This state of matter has a fixed volume and a fixed shape.
What is a solid?
These are the different forms in which matter can exist.
What are states of matter?
This is the ability to cause change in matter.
What is energy?
This is always involved in changes in state of matter.
What is energy?
When a solid changes to a liquid.
What is melting?
What is physical property?
This and viscosity are interesting properties of liquids.
What is surface tension?
This is the state of matter with the least kinetic energy.
What is a solid?
Matter either ______ or ________ energy when it changes from one state to another.
What is loses or absorbs?
This is what happens to liquid water at 0*C as it loses energy to its environment.
What is freezing?
This state of matter has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
What is a liquid?
Amorphous is one type of solid, and this is the other one.
What is crystalline?
This states that all matter consists of constantly moving particles.
What is the kinetic theory of matter?
This is necessary to overcome the forces of attraction between particles.
What is kinetic energy?
When a gas changes to a liquid.
This state of matter takes on the volume and shape of its container.
What is a gas?
If a liquid is highly viscous, it....
What is doesn't want to flow.
As the kinetic energy in a substance increases, this also increases.
What is particle movement?
One example of this rapid exchange of energy is when water vapor forms ice crystals on a cold window.
What is deposition?
When a liquid changes to a gas without boiling.
What is evaporation?
This is the most common state of matter in the universe and consists of ions.
What is plasma?
Because it contains ions, plasma is able to do these three things.
What is conduct electricity, respond to magnetism, and glow with light?
During evaporation, particles on this part of a liquid absorb energy and pull away from the liquid.
What is the exposed surface?
When a solid rapidly absorbs energy from its environment and changes directly to a gas without changing to a liquid.
What is sublimation?
When a liquid boils and changes to a gas.
What is vaporization?
