State of Matter

The Three States of Matter

TermDefinition
States of Matter Solids, liquids and gases are different______ __ ______ that have different physical properties.
Solids ______ are often hard.
Liquids _______ fill containers.
Gases ______ surround us in the air.
Phase Solids , liquids and gases are states of matter, each of which are also known as a _____.
Compounds Elements and _________ can move from one state to another, causing specific physical conditions change.
Physical Conditions Matter, or elements and compounds, can change from one state to another when specific ________ __________ change.
Temperature When the ___________ of a system goes up, the matter in the system becomes more excited and active.
Active State If enough energy is pushed into a system, by a change such as an increase in temperature, a phase change may occur as the matter moves to a more ______ _____.
Molecule If you give a liquid water ________ enough energy, it escapes the liquid phase and becomes a gas. The extra energy allows the molecules to change states.
Excited When the temperature of the water goes up, the molecules get more _______ and bounce around a lot more. This extra energy can cause it to escape its liquid phase and become a gas.
Change States Providing extra energy to an element or compound allows the molecules of that element of compound, to______ ______.
Steam An example of matter changing states is when energy from a stove heats up liquid water and creates _____.
Physical "Phase" describes the ________ state of matter.
Moves Matter only _____ from one phase to another by physical means.
Energy A physical change can be created by adding ______ (increasing the temperature) or by taking energy away (freezing something).
Pressure In addition to adding or taking away energy, a physical change can be created by changing the ________ of a system.
Vacuum Chamber If you place a glass of water in a ______ _______ and lower the pressure, you can begin to watch the water boil and the water molecules move to a gas phase.
Same Substance When molecules move from one phase to another they are still the ____ _________.
Vapor There is water _____ above a pot of boiling water.
Condense Water vapor (or gas) can ________ and become a drop of liquid water in the cooler air.
Ice If you put that liquid water or water drops in the freezer, it will become a solid piece of ___.
State No matter what physical _____ H2O is in (solid, liquid, gas) it is always water.
Chemical Properties Even though the physical states of an element or compound may change, such as a liquid to a gas or a solid to a liquid, the________ __________ remain the same.
Chemical Bonds If a chemical change were to occur in water, it would build or break the ________ _____ in the water (H2O) molecules.
Atom If you added or removed an ____ from a compound, such as H2O, a new compound would be formed.
Added If you _____ a carbon (C) atom to a water compound (H2O) , you would create formaldehyde (H2CO).
Create If you added an oxygen (O) atom to a water compound (H2O), you would ______ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
Chemical Change When you add atoms to an existing compound to create a new compound, causing a ________ ______, the new compound that is created is not anything like the original compound.
Not Changes in the physical state do ___ generally lead to any chemical change in compounds.

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.
