What is solid, liquid, and gas
This model explains the behaviour of particles in matter.
particle model of matter
In this state of matter, the particles are close together and vibrate in place.
solids
This state of matter takes the shape and volume of the container it is in.
What is Gas
This is the amount of space a solid, liquid, or gas takes up.
Volume
Pancake syrup is in what state?
Adding heat to a pot of water will change the liquid into what state?
What is gas
In this state of matter, the particles are separated by large spaces and are constantly moving in all directions.
gases
This state of matter has a definite shape and size
What is Solid
This is the ability of a liquid or gas to reduce in volume when under pressure.
Compressibility
An ice cube is in what state of matter?
Particles of matter are always doing this.
moving
In this state of matter, the particles are separated by spaces and can slide past each other.
liquids
This state of matter takes the shape of the container it is in
What is Liquid
A solid, liquid, or gas that is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed will do this.
Float
Steam is in what state?
What is a gas
Particles of matter have this between them
spaces
Attractive forces between particles are strongest in this state of matter.
solids
This measurement of mass include grams and kilograms.
SI units
This is a comparison of the mass of a solid, liquid, or gas to its volume.
Density
Think of a glass of soda the bubbles are an example of what state of matter?
What is a gas
All matter is made up of this
small particles
Attractive forces between particles are weakest in this state of matter.
