Arrangement & Motion
In this state of matter, particles are packed tightly together in a fixed, regular pattern.
What is a solid?
This is the energy of motion, which is what we are measuring when we talk about how fast particles are moving.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the name for the tool used to measure temperature.
What is a thermometer?
When you heat up a substance, the particles begin to move
What is faster?
The most common state of matter in the universe, which is often described as super-heated gas with electrically charged particles.
What is Plasma?
Particles in this state are close together but are constantly sliding past one another, allowing the substance to flow.
What is a liquid?
Particles in a solid have the ____ amount of kinetic energy compared to liquids and gases.
What is the least (or lowest)?
The metric unit used to measure temperature in many scientific experiments.
What is degrees Celsius?
When you cool a substance, the particles slow down and move ____ to each other.
What is closer?
In the United States, this bird is famously pardoned by the President every Thanksgiving.
what is a turkey?
In this state, particles move randomly and quickly, spreading out to fill their entire container.
What is a gas?
To turn a liquid into a gas, you must ____ the kinetic energy of its particles.
What is increase (or add to)?
This is the average kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance.
What is temperature?
This is the phase change where a solid's particles gain enough energy to break free and slide past each other as a liquid.
What is melting?
The name of the layer of air that surrounds the Earth.
What is the atmosphere?
This property, which is shared by both liquids and gases, means the substance will take the shape of its container.
What is having no definite shape (or taking the shape of the container)?
In any substance, the particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first ones to escape and become this state of matter.
What is a gas (or vapor)?
This is the total potential and kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance; it depends on both temperature and the amount of matter.
DP
What is thermal energy?
This is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid, when particles lock into place due to a loss of energy.
What is the freezing point ?
The most famous clock tower in London
TP
What is the big ben?
A solid has a definite shape and definite volume because its particles only have this type of motion.
What is vibrating in place?
The point at which a gas turns back into a liquid, which happens when the particles lose enough kinetic energy to stick together.
What is condensation?
A pot of boiling water and a bathtub of warm water might have the same temperature, but the bathtub has more of this kind of energy.
What is thermal energy?
When particles of a liquid gain so much kinetic energy that they all push away from each other and overcome the force of the surrounding air pressure.
What is boiling?
The change directly from a solid to a gas, without ever becoming a liquid (e.g., dry ice).
What is Sublimation?
