100

Atoms

The smallest particle of matter

100

The process of gas becoming a liquid

Condensation

100

What does it mean if a molecule is polar?

The molecule is charged, with one end that is positive and one end that is negative.

100

At what temperature does solid water (ice) melt to liquid water?

0oC (32oF)

100

What is unique about water's three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas)?

  1. Liquid water is the most dense (packed together), not solid.  This is the opposite of other substances, which are the most packed together in the solid state.

  2. All states can be found at the same time here on Earth.

200

Molecules

A group of atoms bonded together

200

The process of liquid becoming a gas

Evaporation

200

What type of molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom?

A water molecule

200

What happens to water when it is heated to 100oC?

The water evaporates and becomes water vapor.

200

What states of water can be found on Earth?

All states of water can be found on Earth - solid, liquid, and gas.

                 DOUBLE JEOPARDY!

Name an example for each state of water on Earth.

300

Matter

Anything that has mass and takes up space

300

What state of matter has a fixed shape and volume?

Solid

300

How does being a polar molecule affect water?

The water molecules stick together like magnets.  

300

What happens when liquid water is cooled to 0oC?

The liquid water freezes to a solid (ice).

300

What two things can you do to this state of water to change it?

1.  Heat it up to melt it.

2.  Increase pressure

400

Volume

The amount of space matter occupies

400

What state of matter has a no fixed volume or shape, and expands to fill the space it is in?

Gas

400

What is H2O?

Water.  Two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O).

400

How does the movement of the water molecules change when they are heated to 100oC (212oF)?

The molecules start moving faster and they are more spaced out.

400

What two things can you do to this state of water to change it?

1.  Cool it down

2.  Increase pressure

500

Mass

How much matter is in something

500

What state of matter has a constant volume, and flows freely, taking the shape of the container it is in?

Liquid

500

What are atoms that are bonded together called?

Molecules

500

What do these images show, in order?

Water molecules in the solid, liquid, and gas state.


DOUBLE JEOPARDY!

500

What two things can you do to this state of water to change it?


1.  Heat it up to turn it into water vapor

2.  Cool it down to turn it into solid ice
