States of Matter
The physical state in which matter has a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is a liquid?
A material made of only one kind of particle with definite physical and chemical properties.
What is a pure substance
A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded, and each part retains its own properties.
What is a mixture
The description for the change of state from Gas to Solid.
What is deposition?
This particle is defined as the smallest unit of an element that still maintains the properties of that element, and is the building block of all matter.
What is an atom?
The movement of particles in a solid, where they are fixed in place but doing this constantly.
What is vibrating (or vibrating in place)?
A pure substance made of only one type of atom that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
What is an element?
A mixture with a uniform composition throughout, where you cannot see the different parts.
What is a homogeneous mixture (or what is a solution)?
What happens to the temperature of water while it is undergoing a state change, such as melting ice at 0
What is, the temperature does not change? (or stays the same)?
Two or more atoms bonded together, which can be the same type of atom or different atoms.
This state of matter has the most kinetic energy.
What is a Gas?
A substance made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded, which results in properties that differ from the elements it is made of.
What is a compound?
In a salt water solution, this is the substance that is dissolved (the salt...what is is called?)
What is the solute?
This causes molecules to move slower, get closer together, and decreases both volume and pressure.
What is cooling? (or getting colder?)
All elements, compounds, and mixtures are made up of these.
What are atoms?
The attractive forces between particles are the greatest in this state of matter.
What is a solid
A key rule regarding the physical separation of elements and compounds.
What is "they cannot be separated physically"?
The term for mixtures, like a combination of sand, salt, and water, that can be easily separated by techniques such as filtering or decanting.
What is heterogeneous solution?
When water particles are sliding past each other faster, and iron particles are vibrating faster, this is evidence that the pot of water is doing this.
What is being heated? (or getting hotter?)
This is the type of mixture exemplified by Lucky Charms cereal or salad, because you can see the different parts.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
The theory that is most useful in describing the relationship between solids, liquids, and gases, stating that all matter is in constant motion.
?What is the kinetic Theory of matter?
Molecule, solution, compound, element
What is solution
This is the other term used to describe a homogeneous mixture.
What is a solution?
This is the state change that describes a solid turning directly into a gas.
What is sublimation
Since hot air has a bigger volume, this type of air has a bigger density.
What is cold air?
