| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a melting point? | The temperature at which a substance melts. |
| What is a gas? | particles are able to move and spread out filling all space available, thus gases has no definite shape or definite volume. |
| What is pressure? | gas particles constantly collide with one another and the walls of their container. Pressure is the outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container. Pressure= Force/Area. |
| What is a temperature? | the higher the temperature the faster particles moving. |
| What is a liquid? | Particles are free to move so a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape. |
| What is a solid? | Closely packed particles cause matter to have a definite shape and definite volume. |
| What is a crystalline solid? | Particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. |
| What is a amorphous solid? | Particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Example: Glass, plastic, and rubber. |
| What is surface tension? | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together. |
| What is Viscosity? | A liquid's resistance to flowing. |
| What is melting | When a solid changes to a liquid. |
| What is Freezing | When a liquid turns into a solid. |
| What is a Freezing point | the temperature when a substance freezes. |
| What is Vaporization | When a liquid changes to a gas |
| what is Evaporation | takes place only on the surface of the liquid. |
| What is Boiling | When vaporization occurs both below and at the surface. |
| What is a Boiling Point | Temperature at which a liquid boils. |
| What is Condensation | When a gas changes to a liquid. |
| What is Sublimation | When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas. |
| What is Charles’s Law | When the temperature of a gas at a constant pressure is increased the volume is increased, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is decreased. |
| What does Directly proportional mean | as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate. |
| What does Boyle's Law mean | When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume is decreases, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is increases. |
| What does Inversely proportional mean | When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. |
