Glencoe Ch.4 States of Matter (gd7)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atom | smallest piece of an element |
| molecule | 2 or more atoms chemically combined |
| The 3 "States of Matter" | solid, liquid, gas |
| temperature | the average speed of the molecules |
| matter | anything that takes up space and has mass |
| heat | energy going from matter at a higher temp. to a lower temp. |
| freezing point | the temp. at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid |
| viscosity | a material's resistance to flow |
| boiling point | temp. at which water changes from a liquid to a gas |
| condensation | when a gas cools and turns into liquid |
| diffusion | when molecules go to where there's less of them |
| formula for Pressure | Force divided by Area |
| boiling point of water at sea level | 100 degrees Celsius |
| formula for Density | Mass divided by Volume |
| Archimedes' principle | when an object is placed in a fluid, the object weighs less by the weight of the displaced fluid |
| freezing point of water at sea level | 0 degrees Celsius |
| 3 ways heat travels | conduction, convection, radiation |
| conduction | when heat energy travels through a solid |
| convection | when heat energy travels through air |
| radiation | transfer of energy as EM waves, such as visible light and infrared waves |
