States of Matter
Atoms packed closely together.
Solid
Atoms transition from loose to packed arrangement.
Freezing
Collisions between particles of a gas and the walls of a container.
Pressure in a closed container
The reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another.
Phase Change
Six common phase changes.
melting, freezing, condensation, vaporization, sublimation, deposition
Atoms are loosely arranged.
Liquid
Matter transitions from a gas to a solid without becoming a liquid.
Deposition
P1V1 = P2V2
Boyle's Law
A temperature of zero kelvin.
Absolute Zero
Energy is absorbed.
Endothermic
Atoms are randomly arranged.
Gas
The exothermic change from a gas to a liquid.
Condensation
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Charles' Law
The state of matter in which a material has neither a definite volume nor definite shape.
Gas
All particles are in constant motion.
Atoms have no kinetic energy.
Bose-Einstein Condensate
The endothermic transition from a solid to a gas.
Sublimation
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Combined Gas Law
The amount of energy needed to cause a solid to transition into a liquid.
Heat of Fusion
The relationship between Pressure and Volume.
Inverse Relationship
Atoms are highly energetic and lose their electrons creating a very temperature and charged matter. Most matter in the universe exists in this state.
Plasma
Temperature during a phase change.
Remains the same until fully transitioned
The relationship between Volume and Temperature.
Direct Relationship
The amount of energy needed to cause a liquid to transition into a gas.
Heat of Vaporization
Three factors that affect pressure of a gas.
Number of particles, volume, temperature
