What is disruptive motions of particles?

What is attraction among particles?

100

What occurs when you heat a solid?

What is its particles will move rapidly as the kinetic energy increases?

100

What gives the conditions of temperature and pressure at which a substance can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas (vapor)?

What is a phase diagram?

200

When vaporization occurs at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling the process is called ...

What is evaporation? 

200

What kind of path do particles travel in until they collide with another particle, or another object, such as the wall of their container?

What is a straight line path?

200

What determines the the physical properties of liquid?

What is the interplay between the disruptive motions of the particles in a liquid and the attractions among the particles?  

200

Why do ionic solids have a higher melting point?

What are strong forces that hold solids together?

200

When can sublimation occur?

What are solids that have water pressures that exceed atmospheric pressure or near room temperature?

300

 The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is just equal to the external pressure of the liquid

What is boiling point?

300

One assumption of the kinetic theory is ... 

What is the particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume- within a gas, the particles are relatively far apart compared with the distance between particles in a liquid or a solid?

300

Why do liquids have a definite volume?

What is intermolecular attractiveness?

300

Give two examples of solids that do not melt, but rather, decompose.

What is wood and sugar cane?

300

What describes a set of conditions in which all three states of matter can exist in equilibrium with one another?

What is triple point?

400

The smallest group of particles within a crystal that retains the geometric shape of the crystal is known as ...

What is a unit cell?

400

Another assumption of kinetic theory is ... 

What is the motion of the particles in a gas is rapid, constant, and random- gases fill their containers regardless of the shape and volume of the containers, an unconstrained gas can spread out into space with no limit? 

400

Why does beating a liquid cause it to evaporate faster?

What is more kinetic energy?

400

Give some examples of amorphous solids.

What are rubber, plastic, and asphalt?

400

An ... lowers the boiling point and raises the melting point.

What is a decrease in pressure?

500

The change of a substance from a solid to a vapor without passing through the liquid state is called ... 

What is sublimation? 

500

The last assumption of kinetic theory is ... 

What is all collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic- during an elastic collision, kinetic energy is transferred without loss from one particle to another, and the total kinetic energy remains constant?

500

What is the definition of vapor pressure?
