Kiewit Middle CH2

Kiewit Middle Chapter 2, "States of Matter"

QuestionAnswer
What are the basic building blocks of matter called? atoms
Two or more atoms bonded together are called a molecule
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas
What are the invisible forces that hold matter together called? bonds
This state of matter has strong, rigid bonds. solid
This type of solid has atoms in a 3-D, repeating pattern. crystalline
This type of solid lacks an orderly arrangement of atoms. amorphous
This state of matter has neither definite shape nor volume. gas
When this increases, the motion of atoms and molecules increases. temperature
Clowns can make balloon animals because air can be compressed
How can two identical balls have different pressures inside? one has more gas in it
This gas law says that as the pressure around a gas goes down, the volume of the gas goes up. Boyle's law
Charles' law states that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases
You can change the boiling point of water if you change the air pressure around it
In order for the molecules in liquid water to escape they must increase in heat energy
If a stinky liquid is left open in a room, the room will end up stinking because the liquid can evaporate
How do the molecules of water vapor vary from liquid water? they are faster and less orderly
In order for a liquid to evaporate, what has to happen? bonds must break
Alcohol makes flatter droplets than syrup because it has lower..... surface tension and viscosity
True or false: a liter of water boils at the same temp. as a milliliter of water. true
In order for dry ice to sublimate, the CO2 gas has to....... gain heat energy
Which changes of state are exothermic? freezing, condensing, deposition
What is easy to do to a gas but difficult to do to a liquid? compress it
Exothermic means.... to lose heat
To gain heat is the definition of..... endothermic
Shape and volume are definite in which state of matter? solid
Only volume is defnite in which state of matter? liquid
Of volume and shape, which is definite in a gas? neither
Viscosity is..... a liquid's resistance to flow
Which changes of state are endothermic? melting, evaporation, sublimation
What force at the surface of a liquid allows a spider to walk across it? surface tension
The change from solid to liquid is? melting
The change from liquid to solid is? freezing
The change from liquid to gas is.... evaporation
The change from gas to liquid is..... condensation
The change from solid to gas is... sublimation
The change from gas to solid is... deposition
Boiling happens when.... the gases inside a liquid are greater than those outside the liquid
Vapor pressure is.... the gas pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid

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.
