States of Matter
The three most common states of matter.
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
The change from a solid to a liquid.
What is melting?
Energy must be added or removed for matter to do this.
What is change state?
When a solid is heated, its particles do this.
What is speed up?
What is melting point?
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid.
Matter in this state has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
The change from a liquid to a solid.
What is freezing?
When particles gain energy, they move this way.
What is move faster?
When a liquid cools, particles do this.
What is slow down?
The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas.
What is boiling point?
Matter in this state takes the shape of its container but keeps its volume.
What is a liquid?
The change from a liquid to a gas throughout the liquid.
What is boiling?
Heat absorbed during a state change without temperature increase.
What is latent heat?
What is evaporation?
Particles escaping from the surface of a liquid create this process.
The pressure exerted by vapor particles in equilibrium with a liquid.
What is vapor pressure?
Matter in this state spreads out to fill its entire container.
What is a gas?
The change from a gas to a liquid.
What is condensation?
What is heat of fusion?
The energy required to change a solid into a liquid.
The movement of particles increases when this increases.
What is temperature?
The process where a solid turns directly into a gas.
What is sublimation?
A change in temperature or pressure can cause matter to do this.
What is change state or change phase?
What is deposition?
The change from a gas directly to a solid.
The energy required to change a liquid into a gas.
What is heat of vaporization?
When particles lose energy, they move this way.
What is move slower?
What is a eutectic mixture?
A mixture where substances melt easier when combined.
