States of Matter
What is the definition of Solid?
Something with a definite shape and a definite volume
What is thermal energy?
Energy that is produced by heat
What are 3 of the changes of state?
Freezing, codensation, sublimation
What are the three common states of matter?
Solid, Gas, and Liquid
What's the difference between Crystalline and Amorphous?
Crystalline is a neatly organized pattern, while Amorphous is messy and random
What does thermal energy do?
it heats stuff up
Thermometers register a ________ temperature when particles are moving _________.
higher, faster
What is sublimation?
the surface particles of a particle that gain enough energy that they form a gas
What does Viscosity mean?
It means to move or flow around
When something is being heated up with thermal energy, what are the particles doing?
Boiling takes place at both ______ and the _____ of liquid, while evaporation only happens at the _____.
Below, surface, surface
What is a particle?
a small localized object
What are three different phases of Matter?
Solid, Gas, and Liquid
Are the particles moving faster or slower?
faster
Describe how cold and hot are different in particles when you add thermal energy.
The cold particles will move slowly, and when the cold particles start to heat up, they move faster than slow.
What does a particle do when it's heated up?
When heated, a particle gains kinetic energy, causing it to move faster and vibrate more strongly.
What's the Description of Particulate Motion for Gas, Liquid, and Solid?
The Description of Particulate Motion for Gas moves freely, while Liquid moves closer together, and Solid vibrates close together.
What in our solar system is made up of thermal energy?
The Sun!
What will Liquid particles do if they're spilled?
It'll be freely around, but won't be so close together
What does a particle do when it's getting cold?
When a substance is getting colder, its particles (atoms and molecules) slow down and lose kinetic energy.
