This type of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a SOLID?
Particles in a solid are said to move while still touching in THIS WAY.
What is VIBRATE (BACK AND FORTH)?
THIS is the energy an object has due to its motion.
What is KINETIC ENERGY?
The temperature at which all particles would stop moving is known as THIS.
What is ABSOLUTE ZERO or ZERO DEGREES KELVIN?
All matter is made of these tiny building blocks.
What are ATOMS?
To squeeze something into a smaller volume.
What is to COMPRESS?
Liquid particles collide with each other in THIS pattern of movement.
What is RANDOM?
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material is THIS.
What is TEMPERATURE?
Particles of matter that are close together pull on one another with THIS kind of force.
What is ATTRACTION or ATTRACTIVE forces?
Think Positive! These two items are found in the Nucleus.
What are PROTONS and NEUTRONS?
This type of matter has a definite volume but can take on different shapes.
What is a LIQUID?
As opposed to solids and liquids, gas particles move at THIS rate.
What is HIGH SPEED?
At lower temperatures particles move LIKE THIS because they have less kinetic energy.
What is SLOW or SLOWER?
This kind of energy is due to the interactions between particles or objects.
What is POTENTIAL ENERGY?
THIS is matter with a composition that is always the same.
What is a SUBSTANCE?
The only form of matter that is easy to compress into a smaller volume or shape.
What is a GAS?
All particles that make up matter exhibit THIS characteristic above 0 degrees Kelvin.
What is MOVEMENT?
This device measures the speed, or kinetic energy, of particles in a material.
What is a THERMOMETER?
Potential energy does THIS when objects or particles get farther apart.
What is INCREASES or GOES UP?
What you get when two or more different elements are bonded together.
What is a COMPOUND?
Liquids and gases are considered THIS, because they can flow.
What is a FLUID or FLUIDS?
Heating a substance adds THIS to its particles.
What is ENERGY?
This scale is used by scientists around the world to measure temperature. It is not absolute.
What is CELSIUS?
The result of the motion of all the particles, and the distance and attractions between those particles in the system, is known as THIS.
What is THERMAL ENERGY?
A group of chemical symbols and numbers that represent the elements and the number of atoms of each element that make up a compound is called THIS.
What is a FORMULA?
