Energy due to motion
Kinetic Energy
This type of matter has particles that are packed tightly together
solid
What is melting?
Solid turns into a liquid.
What happens to thermal energy when the particles move faster?
Thermal energy increases.
What is a solid?
State of matter with a definite shape and a definite volume
What is potential energy?
Stored energy
Describe the particle motion in gases
quickly & freely
Water turning into ice is an example of this
freezing
Which state change causes dew to form?
Condensation
On a state change triangle, the arrow starts at a liquid and points to a solid. What state change occurred?
Freezing
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object
temperature
This state has particles that can slide past each other
liquid
Vaporization occurs when what happens?
Liquid turns into a gas.
What do you have to do in order for a gas to turn into a liquid?
Remove thermal energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles is called what?
Thermal energy
The uneven forces acting on the particles in a liquid
surface tension
Describe the attraction level between the particles in a gas
little to none
Dry ice is an example of this state change
What three state changes occur when you REMOVE thermal energy?
Freezing, Condensation, Deposition
On a state change triangle, the arrow starts at a gas and points to a solid. What state change occurred?
Deposition
The measure of a liquid's resistance to flow
viscosity
Describe the particle arrangement, the movement of particles, and the attraction level between the particles in a SOLID.
Particles are packed tightly together, particles vibrate back and forth, attraction level between particles is very strong.
Describe the TWO types of vaporization.
Boiling- occurs within a liquid & Evaporation- occurs at the surface of a liquid
What three state changes occur when you ADD thermal energy?
Melting, Vaporization, Sublimation
Give three examples of PLASMA
lightning, fluorescent lights, stars, sun, blood.
