Phases of Matter
How do the molecules move in a solid?
They move in place
What happens to molecules movement when you transfer energy in?
They move faster
If you remove energy from a gas, what phase will it change to?
A liquid
the way molecules in a substance move around relative to each other
Freedom of movement
How do the molecules move in a liquid?
They move around each other
What happens to molecules movement when you transfer energy out?
They move slower
If you add energy to a liquid what phase will it change to?
A gas
the energy that an object has because it is moving
Kinetic energy
How do the molecules move in a gas?
The move apart from each other
If you increase the temperature what happens to molecules?
They move faster
If you add energy to a solid, what will it change to?
A liquid
a pull between two molecules that is always the same for a substance
Molecular attraction
What phase of matter is rigid and keeps its shape?
Solid
If you decrease the kinetic energy of molecules what happens to the movement?
They move slower
If you transfer energy out of a liquid, what will it change to?
Solid
the relative size of things
Scale
True or false: The molecules in a solid are moving.
True, they are moving in place
What happens to molecules kinetic energy when they move slower?
It decreases
If a solid is changing to a liquid, what is happening to the way the molecules move? Are the moving faster or slower?
Faster
a noticeably different form or state of the same substance
