100

Small structures that make up all matter. These are also known as Atoms.

Particles

100

This state of matter has a fixed volume and shape. The particles tend to stay close together and not move very much.

Solid

100

This property can be identified, observed, or measured, but it doesn't rely on testing to see if the material reacts with another substance

Physical Property

100

Two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds

molecule

100

The basic building block of matter

atom

200

The total energy of motion of the particles, often referred to as heat

Thermal energy

200

This state of matter with no fixed shape. The particles have a lot of movement and do not stay grouped together.

Gas

200

How a material reacts with another substance

Chemical Property

200

Most elements are at what phase of matter at room temperature

Solid

200

What happens to the kinetic energy of a liquid when the temperature drops

The kinetic energy decreases

300

The simplest pure substance

Element

300

This state of matter has a specific volume but not a specific shape. The particles tend to stay close together but can slide past one another.

Liquid

300

(answers will vary)

Can be identified, observed, or measured.

300

True or False: The particles in a solid are very close together and can move throughout the whole solid.

(if false then why)

False

They CAN NOT move throughout the whole solid
