100

This state of matter has definite shape and definite volume.

Solid

100

A type of energy change in which energy is added.

Endothermic

100

The process of changing from a solid to a liquid.

Melting

100

A measure of how fast the particles in an object are moving.

Temperature

100

Two things that can happen to a substance when it gains or loses energy (name both)

Temperature changes and Change of state

100

This state of matter has indefinite shape and definite volume

Liquid

100

A type of energy change in which energy is removed.

Exothermic

100

The process of changing from a liquid to a solid.

Freezing

100

Energy associated with moving objects.

Kinetic energy

100

This law says that heat flows naturally from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

200

This state of matter has indefinite shape and indefinite volume.

Gas

200

Melting, evaporation, and sublimation are ______________ changes.

Endothermic

200

You spilled your stanley on your desk. Instead of being responsible and cleaning it up with paper towels you leave the liquid on the desk. Eventually the liquid goes away.

Evaporation

200

A form of kinetic energy associated with molecules in motion; also known as "heat."

Thermal energy

200
Temperature of an object directly relates to this.

Motion of the particles

200

True or False: Water takes up more space as a liquid than it does as a solid.

False - Water takes up more space as a solid.

200

Freezing and condensation are _________________ changes.

Exothermic

200

The temperature at which a gas turns into a liquid.

Condensation Point

200

The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.

Boiling point

200

The process by which a substance changes directly from a Solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.

Sublimation

200

The particles of a solid make small movements called...

Vibrations

200

Thermal energy can be ________________ from one object to another.

Transferred

200

True or False: A change of state is a chemical change.

False

200

The change of matter from one state to another, such as a solid, liquid, or gas.

Phase change or Change of state

200

True or False: Particles of a substance begin to move slower at higher temperatures

False: Particles begin to move faster at higher temperatures.
