The 5 States
state in which molecules stay in a fixed position but continue to vibrate.
what is a solid?
This is the lowest energy state of matter that naturally occurs on earth.
What is a solid?
This is when water as a gas.
What is Vapor?
This is when a solid changes directly to a gas.
What is sublimation?
state in which the molecules slide past one another freely, and form to the shape of its container.
What is a liquid?
This is a form of thermal energy produced by a flame.
What is heat?
This is the point at which a solid starts to liquify.
What is the melting point?
A change to this state usually causes a substance to get more compact and take on a defined structure.
What is a solid?
State in which the molecules move freely and are not trapped by open containers.
What is a gas?
This is what happens to matter when thermal energy is taken away.
What is a decrease in temperature?
This is the point at which a liquid begins to turn into a gas.
What is the boiling point?
This is an exception to the general rule of solids being more dense than liquids.
Why is ice less dense than water?
This is the highest energy state of matter known to exist.
What is plasma?
This is the stored energy of motion.
What is potential energy?
This is when a solid changes directly to a gas.
What is sublimation?
This describes the movement of particles in a gas.
In what state of matter do particles move around freely?
This is the least energetic state of matter known to exist. It is only produced in laboratories.
What is a Bose Einstein Condensate?
This is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This is when particles are moved and left behind due to a change pf matter.
What is deposition?
This is gas defined in terms of relative density
What is the least dense state of matter out of solid, liquid, or gas?
