phases of matter

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

term
definition
solid   state of matter in which the particles of matter are closest together, having a definite shape and a definite volume.  
🗑
liquid   state of matter in which the particles are free to move over, under and around one another;particles are farther apart than in a solid. liquids have no definite shape and a definite volume.  
🗑
gas   state of matter in which the particles are moving the fastes and are the farthest away from each other. gases have no definite shape and no definite volume.(fits the container)  
🗑
plasma   state of matter that is achieved under very high temperatures, no definite shape. plasma have no definite shape and atoms have been ripped apart. ex:stars, tv's, and lightning.  
🗑
kinetic molecular theory   the theory that explains differences in the states of matter are caused by how fast the atoms in substances are moving (called kinetic energy). slow=solid faster=liquid super fast= gas super super fast=plasma  
🗑
endothermic   physical changes in which energy is absorbed, the temperature of the substance changes.  
🗑
exothermic   physical change in which energy is released,the temperature of the substance changes.  
🗑
melting   the phase change from asolid to a liquid material to must gain energy (temperature=increase) endo= heat insides  
🗑
melting point   the temperature at which a substance begins to melt the melting point of water is 32  
🗑
freezing   the phase change from a liquid to a solid,material must lose energy (temperature=decreases)  
🗑
freezing point   the temperature at which a substance begins to melt.the freezing point of water is 32c and 0c  
🗑
vaporization   phase change from a liquid to a gas , material must gain energy (temperature = increase) endo=heat inside  
🗑
evaporation   phase change from a liquid to a gas at the surface of liquid below the boilling point.  
🗑
boilling   the phase change from a liquid to a gasthroughout the entire liquid. endothermic  
🗑
boilling point   the temperature at which a substance begins to boil. the boilling point of water is 212f, 100c  
🗑
condensation   the change in phase from a gas to a liquid, material requires a loss of energy(temperature=decreases)  
🗑
sublimation   the change in phase from a solid to gas without going through theliquid phase. endothermic  
🗑
deposition   phase change froma gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase (frost) exothermic.  
🗑


   

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.
