Vocabulary
objects that keep their own shape and do not flow in a given temperature
What are solids?
the process when a liquid turns into a solid. It occurs when heat is lost from an object, which causes the molecules to slow down and form tighter bonds.
What is freezing?
How solids become liquid
What is by adding energy?
Molecules are tightly held together and vibrate slightly
What is a solid?
This does not have a set volume or shape
What is a gas?
substances that can move around freely or they might flow to fit a container
What are gases?
the process of changing something from a solid into a liquid
What is melting?
How liquids become solids
What is by removing energy?
Molecules vibrate a lot and expand away from one another
What is gas?
This has a set shape and volume
What is solid?
substances that flow and fill the lowest portion of a container, taking on the shape of the container but does not change in volume
when a liquid becomes a gas without forming bubbles inside the liquid volume
What is evaporation?
How gases become liquids
What is removing energy?
Molecules slide past one another
What is liquid?
This has a set volume but not a set shape
What is liquid?
superheated matter – so hot that the electrons are ripped away from the atoms forming an ionized gas
What is plasma?
the process in which gas changes into a liquid when it touches a cooler surface
What is condensation?
How liquids become gases
What is by adding energy?
If you move this from one container to another, it's shape and volume remain the same
What is solid?
This takes the shape of the container it is in
What is liquid?
when a liquid becomes a gas while forming bubbles inside the liquid volume
What is boiling?
the process by which a solid transforms into a gas without passing through the liquid stage
What is sublimation?
How gases become plasma
What is by adding energy until electrons are ripped away from the gas?
If you move this from one container to another, its shape changes to take the shape of the new container
What is a liquid?
This expands to fill the container it is in
What is a gas?
