Question | Answer |
---|---|
Sublimation | When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas. |
Condensation | When a gas changes to a liquid. |
Freezing | When a liquid changes to a solid |
Freezing point | the temperature when a substance freezes. |
melt | when something turns from a solid to a liquid |
melting point | when something retches the point where it melts at |
Vaporization | When a liquid changes to a gas |
Solid | closely packed particles cause matter to have a definite shape and definite volume |
Liquid | particles are free to move so a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape |
Gas | particles are able to move and spread out filling all space available, thus gases have no definite shape or definite volume |
Pressure | gas particles constantly collide with one another and the walls of their container. Pressure is the outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container. Pressure= Force/Area. |
Temperature | the higher the temperature the faster particles move |
Crystalline solids | particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. salt, sugar, and snow |
Amorphous solids | particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Example: Glass, plastic, and rubber. |
Surface Tension | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together |
Viscosity | A liquid's resistance to flowing. Honey has a high viscosity. |
