matter
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solid: | closely packed particles cause matter to have a definite shape and definite volume. |
| Crystalline solids: | particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. salt, sugar, and snow. |
| Amorphous solids: | particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Glass, plastic, and rubber. |
| Surface Tension: | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together. |
| Viscosity: | A liquid's resistance to flowing. Honey has a high viscosity. |
| Melting: | When a solid changes to a liquid |
| Melting point: | the temperature at which a substance melts. |
| Freezing:Melting point: | When a liquid changes to a solid. |
| Freezing point:Freezing: | the temperature when a substance freezes. |
| Vaporization: Freezing point | When a liquid changes to a gas. |
| Evaporation: Vaporization: | takes place only on the surface of the liquid. |
| Boiling: 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 liquid. |
| condensation: | when a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas. |
| sublimation: | 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 is decreases, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is increases. |
| Boyles Law: | When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. |
| Power: The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. | Power= Energy Transferred/Time |
| Energy Transformations: | a change in energy from one to another. |
| Law of the Conversation of Energy: | Energy cannot be created or destroyed just changed from one form to another. |
