Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
four states of matter   solid, liquid, gas, plasma  
🗑
kinetic molecular theory   all matter is made of particles (usually molecules) that are in constant motion  
🗑
As temperature of substance increases, the kinetic energy of particles ________.   increases  
🗑
As the temperature of a substance decreases, the kinetic energy of particles ________   decreases  
🗑
Five characteristics that classify a substance as a solid   definite shape, definite volume, particles are close together, does not flow, diffusion is extremely low  
🗑
Solids can be classified as _______ or ______ solids   amorphous or crystalline  
🗑
Crystalline solids   particles are arranged in a regular repeating three-dimensional pattern  
🗑
amorphous solids   lack a regular repeating order, examples glass and wax  
🗑
Four characteristics that classify a substance as a liquid   takes shape or portion of container it occupies, definite volume, particles are farther apart than a solid, particles move faster than a solid  
🗑
Six characteristics of a gas   no definite volume or shape, particles are farther apart than a solid or liquid, particles move faster than a solid or liquid, particles are compressible, and have rapid diffusion due to high energy state  
🗑
Physical property   characteristic of a substance which may be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance  
🗑
state or phase   solid, liquid, gas or plasma  
🗑
color   the way an object absorbs or reflects light  
🗑
density   ratio of mass to volume, D= m/v  
🗑
specific gravity   ratio of density to density of water (1.0)  
🗑
solubility   the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent  
🗑
luster   the silvery shine of a substance, many metals  
🗑
malleability   the ability of a substance to rolled or pounded into shapes  
🗑
ductility   the ability to be drawn into rods or wires  
🗑
tenacity   the ability of a substance to resist being pulled apart  
🗑
brittleness   the ability to shatter when struck  
🗑
conductivity   the ability to transfer electricity of heat  
🗑
odor   produced by vapor particles being given off by an object  
🗑
elasticity   the ability of an object to stretch and return to its original position  
🗑
hardness   the resistance to being scratched  
🗑
melting and freezing point   same temperature for given substance  
🗑
boiling and condensation point   same temperature for given substance  
🗑
physical change   a change in which the appearance of matter changes but its properties and makeup remain the same  
🗑
Three examples of physical change   cutting wood, melting ice, breaking glass  
🗑
phase change   a change caused by increased or decreased heat energy making particles move close and further apart  
🗑
When will a phase change occur?   when sufficient heat energy is gained or lost  
🗑
An increase or decrease in heat content ( does or does not) necessarily mean an increase or decrease in temperature   does not  
🗑
If no phase change occurs when heat is absorbed or released a ____ will occur   temperature change  
🗑
When heat energy is absorbed or released by a substance one of these occurs   phase change or temperature change  
🗑
melting point   temperature at which a solid turns to liquid  
🗑
freezing point   temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid  
🗑
boiling point   temperature at which a substance rapidly changes from a liquid to a gas at that atmospheric pressure  
🗑
condensation   a change from gaseous state to q liquid state occurs at the same temperature as the boiling point  
🗑
when a substance condenses, heat energy is _____   released  
🗑
when can a substance exist as a gas and a liquid at the same temperature   Yes, at the transition temperature  
🗑
evaporation   change from liquid to gas  
🗑
two factors that affect the rate of evaporation   temperature and surface area  
🗑
Why is evaporation a cooling process?   it takes heat away from surroundings  
🗑
sublimation   direct change of sate from solid to gas or gas to solid  
🗑
Name two solids that sublime   moth balls and dry ice  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
