Phases of Matter
The phase of matter with no definite shape OR definite volume
What is a gas?
What is melting?
According to kinetic molecular theory, these make up all matter
What are small particles?
What characteristic of a gas increases as temperature increases?
What is volume?
the amount of force applied per unit of area
What is pressure?
The phase of matter in which particles have the least potential energy possible
What is a solid?
In this process vapor in the air becomes a liquid
What is condensation?
According to kinetic molecular theory particles exhibit this type of motion
What is random?
This states that the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, if the pressure is constant
What is Charles' law?
An explanation of how particles in matter behave
What is kinetic molecular theory?
The phase of matter with the most thermal (kinetic plus potential) energy
What is a gas?
an increase in these two properties of matter can cause a change in state
What are kinetic and potential energy?
Or
What are particle attraction and particle motion?
Based on kinetic molecular theory this state of matter is affected most by changes in temperature, pressure, and volume
What are gasses?
What characteristic of gasses decreases as volume increases?
What is pressure?
Vaporization that only takes place at the surface of a liquid
What is evaporation?
The phase of matter a substance would end as after the process of condensation.
What is a liquid?
This type of energy is increasing during a state change, evidenced by a plateau on a heating curve
What is potential energy?
According to kinetic molecular theory, when particles do this no energy is lost
What is collide?
This states that the pressure of a gas increases if the volume decreases and pressure of a gas decreases if the volume increases, when temperature is constant
What is Boyle's Law
the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
What is surface tension?
The phase of matter a substance will end up as at the end of the process of deposition
What is a solid?
In this process matter changes from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid state
What is sublimation?
According to kinetic molecular theory particles of matter can collide with these
What are other particles, other objects, and the walls of their container?
This mathematical equation is a restatement of Boyle's Law
a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object
What is temperature?
