Solids
The transition from liquid to solid.
What is Freezing?
The transition from solid to liquid.
What is Melting?
The transition from a liquid into a gas.
What is Evaporation?
The name for the smallest PARTS of matter.
What are Particles?
Only water can become a liquid, solid, and a gas!
False!
The transition from Gas to Solid.
What is Deposition?
The transition from gas to liquid.
What is Condensation?
The transition from a gas into a liquid.
What is Condensation?
Temperature is not just how we measure hot or cold but also...
The difference between the states of matter is ONLY because of the way the particles are moving.
True!
The special thing water does when it freezes. The reason ice floats.
What is the expansion of water into ice?
The temperature at which ice melts, in Celsius.
What is 0 degrees?
The transition from a solid into a gas.
What is Sublimation?
This, in addition to temperature, is a measurement of how particles are moving.
What is Pressure?
There are only four states of matter!
False!
The special way solid particles move.
They are locked in place, but still vibrate.
The special way liquid particles move.
They have enough energy to flow around each other.
The special way gas particles move.
They bounce everywhere and can split apart from each other!
What is the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
The idea that all matter is made up of moving particles, and that the way those particles move impacts the matter’s behavior.
Plasma is the most common form of matter in the universe.
True! Stars are in the plasma state, and they make up most of the matter in the universe.
The temperature at which nothing moves, in Celsius (not Kelvin)
-273.15 degrees Celsius.
What is creating a fluidized air bed?
The transition from gas to plasma.
What is Ionization?
What happens when you add salt to ice?
The salt particles get between the water particles. This makes it harder for the water particles to stay locked in place, so the ice will melt more easily.
You can't melt or evaporate organic substances, like trees or people.
True!
