Vocabulary
This state of matter has a definite volume and a definite shape, with tightly packed molecules that vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
This is the energy of motion, which increases as particles move faster.
What is kinetic energy?
This process occurs when water vapor cools and forms liquid droplets.
What is condensation?
Adding this type of energy increases the movement of molecules, potentially changing their state.
What is thermal energy?
Molecules in this state of matter are loosely packed, have a definite volume, but no definite shape.
What is a liquid?
The total kinetic energy of particles in a substance is known by this term.
What is thermal energy?
This happens when a liquid gains enough thermal energy for its molecules to spread apart and move freely.
What is evaporation or boiling?
When molecules lose thermal energy, they slow down and often settle into this tightly packed structure.
What is a solid?
In this state, molecules are widely spread, have no definite volume, and no definite shape.
What is a gas?
When heat is added to a solid, the molecules vibrate faster and spread apart, causing this change of state.
What is melting?
This phase change occurs when heat is removed from water vapor, turning it back into a liquid.
What is condensation?
Thermal Energy
Anything that has volume and mass
What is matter?
When heat is removed from a liquid, the molecules slow down and vibrate in place, resulting in this change of state.
What is solidifying or freezing?
What is precipitation?
The more kinetic energy particles have the more likely what is to occur?
A change in state of matter
Distinct forms of matter (solid liquid and gas) also referred to as phases.
What is States of Matter?
When you add thermal energy this energy will increase as well. When you remove thermal energy, this energy will decrease as well.
What is kinetic energy?
When water is absorbed from plants instead of from large pools of water
What is transpiration?
A Change in state of matter
