Matter

TermDefinition
Closely packed particles cause matter to have a definite shape and definite volume Solid
Particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals Crystalline solids
Particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Example: Glass, plastic, and rubber Amorphous solids
An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together Surface Tension
A liquid's resistance to flowing. Example: Honey has a high viscosity Viscosity
Particles are free to move so a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape Liquid
Particles are able to move and spread out filling all space available, thus gases have no definite shape or definite volume Gas
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. Charles’s Law
As one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate. Directly proportional
When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume decreases, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is increased. Boyle's Law
When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. Inversely proportional
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. Pressure
The higher the temperature the faster particles move Temperature
When a solid changes into a liquid Melting
The temperature at which a substance melts Melting point
When a liquid changes to a solid Freezing
The temperature when a substance freezes Freezing point
When a liquid changes to a gas Vaporization
Takes place only on the surface of the liquid Evaporation
When vaporization occurs both below the and at the surface Boiling
Temperature at which a liquid boils Boiling point
When a gas changes to a liquid Condensation
When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas Sublimation
Potential energy related to an object’s height. Gravitational Potential Energy
Power The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. Power= Energy Transferred/Time
Kinetic Energy The energy an object has due to its motion.
Potential Energy The energy an object has because of its position, also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds.
Elastic Potential Energy The energy that can be associated with object’s that can be compressed or stretched.

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.
