Physical Changes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| conservation of mass | The particles in matter that are present before the physical change are the same as those present after the physical change. The particles are the same both before and after a physical change, the total mass before and after is also the sameEX: ice cube |
| dissolving things + melting | Dissolving= when something evenly mixes together with another substance. Melting= when a solid becomes a liquid because heat was applied. |
| condensation | is the process where gas turns into a liquid |
| sublimation | when a solid turns directly into a gas without going through the liquid stage. |
| Deposition | when a gas turns into a solid without going through the liquid stage. |
| Boiling | when a liquid turns into a gas, because thermal energy was added |
| Freezing | when a liquid turns into a solid, because thermal energy was removed. |
| Change of state of matter | To change the state of matter the movement of the particles must change in order to change the movement of the particles, thermal energy must be added. |
| Movement + distance of particles in gas, liquid, solid | After a solid has melted adding more thermal energy causes the particles to move even faster. |
