States of Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume
What is a solid
The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams or kilograms.
What is mass?
This theory explains that all matter is made up of tiny, constantly moving particles.
What is the particle theory of matter?
The process of a liquid becoming a solid.
What is freezing?
When most substances are heated, they do this.
What is expand?
This state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container
What is a liquid?
The amount of space an object occupies.
What is volume?
According to the particle theory, these forces hold particles together.
What are intermolecular forces?
The process of a solid becoming a liquid.
What is melting?
When most substances are cooled, they do this.
What is contract?
This state of matter has neither definite shape nor definite volume.
What is a gas?
The measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
What is density?
In this state, particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement.
What is the solid state?
The process of a liquid becoming a gas at the surface of the liquid.
What is evaporation?
This term describes the increase in volume of a substance due to heating.
What is thermal expansion?
The process by which a solid turns directly into a gas without becoming liquid first.
What is sublimation?
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid.
What is the melting point?
In this state, particles are close together but can move past one another.
What is the liquid state?
The process of a gas becoming a solid without passing through the liquid state.
What is deposition?
This device demonstrates thermal expansion by showing the bending of a metal strip.
What is a bimetallic strip?
The change of state from a gas to a liquid.
What is condensation?
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas.
What is the boiling point?
In this state, particles are far apart and move freely.
What is the gaseous state?
The energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point.
What is heat of fusion?
The phenomenon where bridges have gaps to allow for this.
What is thermal expansion?
