Vocabulary
What is the definition of a solid?
Has a definate shape and a definate volume.
What are the 2 examples of vaporization?
Boiling and Evaporation
How do you describe a solid?
This fixed, closely packed arrangement of particles in a solid causes it to have a definate shape and volume.
Put the changes of matter in order?
1.) Gas
2.) Condensation
3.) Sublimation
4.) Vaporization
5.) Solid
6.) Melting
7.) Freezing
8.) Liquid
9.) Deposition
What is the definition of a liquid?
It has a definite volume but no shape of it's own
Give me an example of a gas?
Air, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, ect.
How do you describe a liquid?
Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.
What is the definition of a gas?
Gas has a definite shape nor volume
Give me an example of condensation
Breathing on a mirror
How do you describe a gas?
As gas particles move, they spread apart, filling all the space available. Thus, a gas has neither definite shape nor definite volume.
The Big Question!!!!
Why Does A Substance Change States?
They all either gain or lose energy
What is the definiton of vaporization?
The change in state from a solid to a gas is called vaporization
Give me an example of something that melts
Ice, cheese, rubber, ect
What happens to the particles of a liquid as it vaporizes?
Vaporizaiton occurs when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently.
What is the definition of sublimation?
Sublimation occurs when the surface particles of a solid gain enough energy that they form a gas
Give me an example of a solid
Wood, metal, ham, ect.
What happens to the particles of solid as it sublimes?
During sublimation, particles of a solid do not pass through the liquid state as they form a gas.
