States of Matter
These are the three common states of matter.
What is solid, liquid, and gas.
This property of matter is often used interchangeably with "weight", but they are not the same thing.
What is mass.
All matter is made up of __________.
What is particles.
This is the change of state from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation.
What is mercury.
This state has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
What is liquid.
The three properties* of matter we discussed in class.
What is mass, volume, and density.
In a solid, particles are packed _________ together.
What is tightly/close.
This is the change of state from a solid to a liquid.
What is melting.
The likely cause of road cracking in a city.
What is thermal expansion and/or contraction.
The particles of a _________ state are packed tightly like bricks in a wall.
What is solid.
The property of matter that means how much matter an object contains.
What is Mass.
In ____________ state of matter, particles can slide past each other but they are still close together.
What is a liquid.
The phase change when a solid turns into a gas.
What is sublimation.
In thermal contraction, energy is _________.
What is removed/released.
In ________ the particles are far apart and move very quickly in all directions.
What is gases.
The property of matter that means how much space an object takes up.
What is volume.
True or false: attractive forces between particles are strongest in gases and weakest in solids.
What is false.
During sublimation, energy is _________.
What is absorbed.
What would the results be if ice was more dense than water (think specifically about the arctic).
What is sinking (the ice would sink).
Matter with more* particles that are ______________, have a larger mass.
What is close together.
_____________ means how close together particles of a substance are.
What is Density.
How easily a substance can be squeezed into a smaller space.
What is compressibility.
