States of Matter
The phase change that happens at 0°C
What is melting?
The kinetic molecular theory mainly explains the behavior of this state of matter:
Is it gases
This happens to most substances when they are cooled
Do they contract?
The phase change that happens at 100°C
What is boiling?
This is why gases easily compressed compared to solids
Are gas particles far apart, leaving empty space between them?
True or False: Evaporation happens throughout the whole liquid evenly
Is it False?
The process of liquid water turning into gas.
What is vaporization?
The kind of motion do particles in a solid have
Do they vibrate in place due to thermal energy?
Ice floats on liquid water because
Is it less dense because ice molecules expand?
The reverse of melting.
What is freezing?
This is why gases do not have a definite shape or volume
Are gas particles in constant random motion and spread out?
A solid with particles arranged in a repeating 3-D pattern
What is a crystalline solid?
The reverse of vaporization.
What is condensation?
According to kinetic theory, what are the three types of particles that can make up matter
Is it atoms, molecules, and ions?
A solid with particles placed randomly.
What is an amorphous solid?
