What is Matter?
Matter makes up everything and takes up this.
What is space?
This state has a definite shape and definite volume.
What is a solid?
Solid particles can only do this type of movement.
What is vibrate in place?
This is the amount of matter in something.
What is mass?
A liquid’s volume stays the same even when its shape does this.
What is changes?
Even air is matter because it has mass and this.
What is volume?
This state takes the shape of its container but keeps its volume
What is a liquid?
Liquid particles have more of this than solids, allowing them to move around.
What is space?
This measures how much space matter takes up
What is volume?
A balloon inflates because gas particles do this inside it.
What is spread out or move?
Scientists use this model to explain how matter behaves.
What is the particle model of matter?
This state spreads out to fill any container.
What is a gas?
Gas particles spread out because these forces are very weak.
What are attractive forces?
This property compares mass to volume.
What is density?
If two liquids form layers, the one on the bottom has more of this.
What is density?
These tiny parts make up all matter.
What are particles?
Liquid particles do this so they can flow.
What is slide past each other?
More space between particles usually means this state of matter.
What is gas?
This describes how much a substance can be squeezed.
What is compressibility?
A rock sinks in water because its particles are packed this way.
What is tightly (or closer together)?
Particles are always doing this, even in a solid.
What is moving or vibrating?
Gas particles move this way because attractive forces are very weak.
What is quickly or freely?
Strong attractive forces mean particles stay close together and keep this.
What is shape?
Gases are the easiest state to compress because their particles are this.
What is far apart?
Water is hard to compress because its particles already have very little of this.
What is space between them?
