QuestionAnswer
If an object had a definite shape and a definite volume, what type of matter would it be? A Solid.
What other types of matter are there? Plasma and Bose-Einstein.
What is the kinetic theory of matter? It states that all particles of matter are in constant motion.
What type of motion are in gas particles? Gas particles are forever moving, but not at the same speed. They also do not have a set path. This allows the gas particles to take on any shape or size.
Describe the behavior of liquids. Liquid particles are closely packed, unlike gas particles. Liquids can take on any shape since the particles can in a liquid can flow to new locations. The volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles close together.
Why is vibration an important factor in the behavior of solids? Solids have definite and a definite shape because the particles in a solid vibrate.
What factors affect the pressure of a gas? Its temperature, its, and the number of its particles.
What happens kinetic energy in particles of gas and the temperature increases? The particles move faster and collide more than usual. The faster-moving particles also hit off each with a much greater force.
What happens if you reduce the volume of a gas? It increases the gases pressure. But only if the temperature and the number of particles are constant.
How will increasing the number of particles in a gas affect it? There will be a greater number of collisions and greater pressure.
What does Charles's Law deal with? Charles's Law says that the volume of a gas is proportional to its temperature in kelvins if the pressure and the number of particles in the gas are constant.
What does Boyle's Law deal with? The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and number of particles in the gas are constant.
Explain a phase change. A phase change can be reversible physical change that occurs when one substance changes from one state of matter to another.
Explain temperature and phase changes. The temperature of a substance never changes during a phase change. This is one way to recognize a phase change.
Explain energy and phase changes. Energy in a phase change can either be absorbed or released. There are two types of changes within an energy: endothermic and exothermic.
What is evaporation? It is the process that changes a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point.
Is the process of vaporization endothermic or exothermic? It is an endothermic process. This is because it absorbs the energy.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
