States of Matter
the three most common states of matter on Earth
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
Arrange these states in order of increasing energy: solid, gas, liquid.
What is solid, liquid, gas?
When you squeeze a balloon, this happens to the pressure inside.
What is pressure increases?
This is how many atoms are in one molecule of table salt (NaCl).
What is two?
Name two physical properties of matter.
What are color, shape, size, texture, mass, volume, density, temperature, hardness, or state?
This state of matter includes ice cubes and metal spoons.
What is solid?
This state of matter has particles with the highest energy levels.
What is gas?
When you put a balloon in cold water, this happens to its volume.
What is volume decreases?
A water molecule contains this many hydrogen atoms.
What is two?
This type of property describes how matter behaves during chemical reactions.
What is a chemical property?
Steam and air in a balloon are examples of this state of matter.
What is gas?
When you heat butter, this happens to the energy of its particles.
What is the energy increases (particles move faster)?
When you hold a balloon near a heater, this happens to its volume.
What is volume increases?
These are the three main parts of an atom. Usually they are drawn as little circles.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Rusting is this type of change.
What is a chemical change?
Orange juice is an example of this state of matter.
What is liquid?
Gas particles have more energy than liquids or solids because they do this more.
What is move around more freely/faster?
A can of soda might explode in a hot car because of this relationship between temperature and pressure.
What is higher temperature increases pressure?
This is where electrons are found in an atom.
What is in electron shells/orbits around the nucleus?
An example of a chemical property is this ability of iron.
What is the ability to rust (or react with oxygen)?
This process occurs when a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
What is sublimation?
This is the process when a liquid changes into a gas.
What is vaporization?
This is the process when a gas changes into a liquid.
What is condensation?
The main difference between a proton and a neutron is this.
What is protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge?
This is the process when a solid changes into a liquid.
What is melting?
