States of Matter
These are the three primary states of matter.
→ What are solids, liquids, and gases?
This is the energy due to constant motion of atoms.
→ What is internal energy?
Heat transfer through direct molecular contact.
→ What is conduction?
The ratio of a fluid’s density compared to water.
→ What is specific gravity?
This law states partial pressure is proportional to percentage of gas in mixture.
→ What is Dalton’s Law?
This state of matter has fixed volume and fixed shape.
→ What is a solid?
This type of energy is energy of position and is strongest in solids.
→ What is potential energy?
Heat transfer through mixing of fluids.
→ What is convection?
The force opposing fluid flow; blood is five times greater than water.
→ What is viscosity?
This law says gas dissolves in liquid proportional to partial pressure.
→ What is Henry’s Law?
This state has fixed volume but takes the shape of its container.
→ What is a liquid?
This type of energy is energy of motion and dominates in gases.
→ What is kinetic energy?
Heat transfer that occurs without direct contact.
→ What is radiation?
The attractive force between like molecules.
→ What is cohesion?
This law states volume varies inversely with pressure.
→ What is Boyle’s Law?
This state has no fixed volume or shape and moves rapidly and randomly.
→ What is a gas?
This law states heat moves from hotter objects to cooler ones.
→ What is the first law of thermodynamics?
These are the four methods of heat transfer.
→ What are conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation/condensation?
The attractive force between unlike molecules.
→ What is adhesion?
This law states volume varies directly with temperature.
→ What is Charles’ Law?
This fourth state of matter contains neutral atoms, free electrons, and nuclei.
→ What is plasma?
These are the three temperature scales used in science.
→ What are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin?
The temperature at which water vapor condenses into liquid.
→ What is the dew point?
The force causing liquid droplets to form spheres.
→ What is surface tension?
This law states pressure varies directly with absolute temperature.
→ What is Gay-Lussac’s Law?
