What are the four phases of matter? 

What are solids, liquids, gasses and plasmas?

100

What is the word for the temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas? 

What is boiling point?

100

Why do gas particles not have a set volume?

Gas fills up the space in the container it is put in.

100

Do the water particles in ice gain kinetic energy when thermal energy is applied?

Yes, because when thermal energy is applied the ice is turned into a liquid state and liquids have more higher kinetic energy than solids

100

Does kinetic energy cause particles to stay still?

No, they cause particles in substances to move.

200

What phase of matter has the least amount of kinetic energy?

What are solids?

200

What is the term for when a gas becomes a liquid? 

What is condensation?

200

Do gas particles move sporadically?

Yes, they have high kinetic energy. Therefore, they move sporadically.

200

Are particles in gases further apart than solids?

Yes, a solid's particles are placed closer together.

200

Do solid particles move form place to place?

No, they vibrate around a fixed point.


300

What phase of matter has the 2nd most kinetic energy?

What are liquids?

300

What is the word for when a liquid becomes a solid?

What is the freezing point?

300

What is the lowest temperature measuring point? 

What is absolute zero?

300

Are gas particles attracted to each other?

No, gas particles are not repelled or attracted to each other. 

300

Do gases gain kinetic energy when they collide?

No, when the collide the particles do not gain or lose kinetic energy.

400

What phase of matter is not on the Periodic Table?

What is Plasma?

400

What is the word for when a solid becomes a liquid?

What is melting point?

400

Do liquid particles bump into each other more than gas particles?

Yes, the container for liquid particles are smaller than the container for gas particles.

400

Does water vapor gain kinetic energy when cooled?

No, it looses kinetic energy and particles move slower.


400

Is it true that the more kinetic energy in a substance makes the substance temperature low?

False, the more kinetic energy the higher the temperatur.


500

What phase of matter has the same amount of kinetic energy when it is at the same temperature?

What are gases?

500

What is the term for the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object due to their random motion?

What is temperature?


500

Is there a change in the kinetic energy when gas particle collide? 

No, there is no change. 

500

What is a way to observe a liquid changing into a gas? 

What is the action of smelling food while it is cooking?

500

What is the name for the small glass tube in a thermometer? 

What is a Capillary?
