Matter

TermDefinition
Solid a definite shape and definite volume.
Crystalline solids particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals.
Amorphous solids particles not arranged in a repeating pattern
Surface Tension: a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together.
Viscosity A liquids’s resistance to flowing
Evaporation takes place only on the surface of the liquid.
Boiling When vaporization occurs both below the and at the surface.
Boiling Point Temperature at which a liquid boils.
Freezing When a liquid changes to a solid
Freezing point: the temperature when a substance freezes.
Evaporation: takes place only on the surface of the liquid.
Boiling: When vaporization occurs both below the and at the surface
Boiling Point Temperature at which a liquid boils.
Condensation When a gas changes to a liquid.
Sublimation When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas.
Charles’s Law When the temperature of a gas at a constant pressure is increased the volume is increased
Directly proportional: as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate.
Boyle's Law When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume decreases
Inversely proportional When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases.
Melting: When a solid changes to a liquid
Melting point the temperature at which a substance melts.
Temperature: the higher the temperature the faster particles moving.
Liquid: particles are free to move so a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Reference Point A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion
Distance SI Unit Meter (measures the length of a path between two points)
Speed The distance an object moves per unit of time
Average Speed Calculate the total distance traveled by the total time.
Instantaneous Speed he speed at which an object is moving at a given instant in time.
Velocity Speed in a given direction
Graphing Motion Plotting time on the x-axis and distance on y-axis
Slope is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation of the other variable
Mechanical Energy form of energy associated with the motion, position, and shape of an object.
Nuclear Energy The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
Thermal Energy The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
Electrical Energy The energy of electrical charges.
Electromagnetic Energy The form of energy that travels through space in waves.
Chemical Energy The potential energy stored in chemical bonds.

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.
