States of Matter

QuestionAnswer
physical state of a material, whether a solid, a liquid, or a gas, which depends mostly on how the material's atoms and molecules are arranged and how they move state of matter
anything that has mass and takes up space and whose particles are in constant motion matter
states that the particles of all matter are in constant random motion kinetic theory of matter
temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid melting point
heat required to melt one kilogram of a solid at its melting point heat of fusion
temperature at which attractive forces trap particles in a cooling liquid and form crystals freezing point
temperature at which added heat energy causes the molecules of a liquid to move faster and the liquid's particles to enter the gaseous state in large numbers boiling point
amount of energy required to change one kilogram of a liquid into a gas heat of vaporization
process by which the fastest moving molecules of a liquid escape from the surface and form a gas evaporation
process where particles in a cooling gas slow down and come together to form droplets of liquid condensation
mixing of particles in a gas or a liquid diffusion
states that the pressure exerted on any point of a confined fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid Pascal's principle
mass of an object divided by its volume density
states that when an object is placed in a fluid, the object weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of the displaced fluid Archimedes' principle
decrease in the weight of an object in a fluid due to the net upward force caused by the displaced fluid buoyancy

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
