100
In this state of matter, particles are not in a fixed position, however they can't move very far apart.
What is the liquid state
100
Energy must do one of these two things in order for matter to change state.
What is be absorbed or released
100
The total of the kinetic and potential energy in a substance.
What is thermal energy
100
Liquid particles escape from the surface and form a gas
What is evaporation
100
All matter has particles that are in a constant state of this
What is motion
200
In this state of matter, particles merely vibrate in place.
What is the solid state
200
The temperature at which some liquid particles begin to become a gas.
What is the boiling point
200
Energy that is stored in a substance
What is potential energy
200
The resistance a liquid shows towards flow
What is viscosity
200
The gaseous state of matter that is usually in the form of a liquid or solid
What is vapor
300
In this state of matter, particles do not have a definite shape or volume.
What is the gaseous state
300
The temperature at which liquid particles lose enough energy to become solid particles.
What is freezing point
300
The average kinetic energy in a substance.
What is temperature
300
Molecules of a liquid being pulled toward the center create this kind of tension.
What is surface
300
The amount of energy that is needed to raise one gram of a substance one degree Celsius
What is specific heat
400
In this state of matter, particles do not have a definite shape, but do have definite volume.
What is the liquid state
400
The change from a liquid to a gas
What is vaporization
400
Energy of motion
What is kinetic energy
400
In this process, gas particles lose energy to become droplets of liquid
What is condensation
400
Two factors that determine whether pressure increases or decreases
What is volume and temperature
500
In this state of matter, particles may be crystalline or amorphous
What is the solid state
500
The change from the solid state to the gaseous state.
What is sublimation
500
The movement of energy from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
What is heat
500
Rain falls in drops and certain insects can sit on top of water because of this property of liquids.
What is surface tension
500
If a cooler object is brought near a warmer object, energy will follow this path.
What is move from the warmer object to the cooler object
