What is matter?
Anything that has mass AND takes up space
Has a definite shape and a definite volume
Solid
Occurs at the same temperature as freezing and is its opposite
Melting
Gas laws show relationships among what variables?
Pressure
Temperature
Volume
What is absolute zero?
0 Kelvin, when all particle motion STOPS
What is buoyancy?
Upward force on matter
Has no definite volume and no definite shape
Gas
What is not required for evaporation to occur?
Boiling
Boyle's Law shows the relationship between which two variables?
Pressure and Volume
What happens to particles as temperature decreases?
They slow down and are losing energy.
What is Archimedes Principle?
The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.
Exists only at very high temperatures
Plasma
Occurs at the same temperature as boiling and is its opposite
Vaporization
Charles's Law shows the relationship between which two variables?
Volume and Temperature
What is it called when matter expands due to heat?
Thermal Expansion
What is kinetic theory?
All matter consists of tiny particles that are always in motion.
Has a definite volume but no definite shape
Liquid
When a solid turns into a gas
Sublimation
What type of relationship is Boyle's Law?
Inversely Proportional
What is density?
The relationship between mass and volume
What is temperature?
Measure of the average kinetic energy of a sample
99.9% of matter is in this state
Plasma
What are the freezing and melting points of water in Celsius?
0 degrees
What type of relationship is Boyle's Law?
Directly Proportional
What is the density formula?
D = M/V
