Question
Answer
show Matter  
🗑
show Pure Substances  
🗑
What is a combination of two or more pure substances or other mixtures   show
🗑
show States of matter  
🗑
Usually determine its state of matter   show
🗑
The attraction between particles is greater than their ability to move away from each other, vibrate in fixed place, size doesn't change   show
🗑
show Liquid  
🗑
Are far apart and move fast, almost no attraction, no fixed shape, no constant volume   show
🗑
Fourth state of matter. Acts like a gases but particles move so fast and collide so hard that they break apart and become electrically charged.   show
🗑
A process; when a solid becomes a liquid   show
🗑
Also called Solidification, the particles slow down until their attraction to each other locks them into fixed positions.   show
🗑
The change from the liquid state to a vapor   show
🗑
show Boiling  
🗑
If vaporization occurs over a long time at a temperature below the boiling point; can occur at any temp between the melting point of the liquid.   show
🗑
show Condensation  
🗑
show Sublimation  
🗑
The opposite process of sublimation collect on cool surfaces, forming the solid state without becoming liquid first.   show
🗑
show Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.  
🗑
Discuss the differences between pure substances and mixtures.   show
🗑
show The state of matter is a physical form of matter described by its rigidity or fluidity, its ability to hold its shape and how definite its volume is. The particles move different speeds when in different temperatures.  
🗑
What are the differences in the motions and arrangements of particles in solids and liquids? Between liquids and vapor?   show
🗑
show Plasmas act like gases but their particles move so fast & collide so hard that they break apart & become electrically charged. Gases are far apart & move very fast, they have almost no attraction for each other. No fixed shape & no constant volume  
🗑
Water vapor becomes liquid water droplets... this is an example of what?   show
🗑
show Solidification  
🗑
On a cold clear night ice forms on the windshield of your family car ex. of what?   show
🗑
A block of dry ice slowly disappears... ex. of what?   show
🗑
a beaker of liquid oxygen bubbles and forms oxygen gas ex. of what?   show
🗑
show weight, volume & mass  
🗑
What is a force and what two ways can a force relate to an object?   show
🗑
What are the two types of forces and how are they different?   show
🗑
lightning is what force?   show
🗑
sand wearing away rock as water flows over the rock what force?   show
🗑
show compression  
🗑
a chuck of a glacier falling off into the ocean to form an iceberg. what force?   show
🗑
show tension  
🗑
show gravity  
🗑
show weight  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show Both forces act on the rock - pushing and pulling with no movement.  
🗑
Even if scientists do discover dark matter during an LHC experiment, would that prove that the universe started with the Big Bang? Explain.   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
