The state change name for a solid changing to a liquid

Melting

200
What happens to particles when they are cooled?
They move slower.
200
Draw the particle arrangement of a solid.
Particles should be close together in a fixed shape.
200
Draw the particle arrangement of a liquid.
Particles should be slowly rolling over each other, but not taking up the whole space.
200
Draw the particle arrangement of a gas.
Answer should have particles completely spread out and arrows showing fast movement.
200

The name for when a liquid changes state by turning into a solid.

Freezing

300
Can particles change size?
No
300

All metals are solids at room temperature. TRUE or FALSE

FALSE - the metal mercury melts at -38.8 oC

300

What happens to a liquid when it EVAPORATES?

Turns into a gas (water vapour).

300

TRUE or FALSE 'Particles in gases are closer together than particles in solids'

FALSE

300

When a gas turns into solid directly without going through a liquid state

Deposition

400
Why do solids, liquids and gases have different properties?
The particles are arranged differently.
400
TRUE or FALSE: 'You can pour solids'
FALSE. You can only pour liquids and gases.
400

TRUE or FALSE 'Liquids have a fixed volume (amount)'

TRUE Only gases and plasma do not have a fixed volume

400

At room temperature carbon dioxide is a solid. TRUE or FALSE

FALSE

400

The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gaseous state, without passing through a liquid state.

Sublimation 

500
If the particles are electrically charged, what is the state of matter?
Plasma
500
TRUE or FALSE 'The particles in a solid stay completely still'
FALSE They vibrate on the spot.
500
TRUE or FALSE 'Liquid particles will spread out to fill the entire space of a room'
FALSE They will remain on the ground due to gravity. They will only fill the whole room if there is enough liquid.

TRUE or FALSE 'Gas flows'

TRUE
