Question
Answer
The three most common forms, or states, of matter on Earth are?   solids, liquids, and gases.  
🗑
most common state of matter in space?   plasma  
🗑
Some ways to describe matter are...   describe the state, color, texture odor, and by using measurements such as mass, volume, and density.  
🗑
The main factor that determines the state of matter are?   particles motion and particle forces  
🗑
SOLIDS   matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume. Particles in a solid are close together  
🗑
LIQUIDS   matter with a definite volume but no definite shape. Liquids can flow and take the shape of their containers. Particles move faster than a solid and in turn move slightly father apart.  
🗑
Viscosity   a measurement of a liquids resistance to flow. Ex: honey has a high viscosity and water has a low viscosity  
🗑
Surface Tension   the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid.  
🗑
GASES   matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape. Particles move even farther apart than solids or liquids. Particles spread out to fill a container.  
🗑
Vapor   the gas state of a substance that is normally a solid or a liquid at room temperature.  
🗑
Melting   change of matter from a solid to a liquid. Thermal energy must be added.  
🗑
Freezing   change from a liquid state to a solid state.  
🗑
Vaporization   change from a liquid to a gas.  
🗑
Sublimation   change of state from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid state. Ex. Dry ice  
🗑
Deposition   change of state of a gas to a solid without going through the liquid state  
🗑
Molecular Theory:   is an explanation of how particles in matter behave. *small particles make up all matter. *these particles are in constant random motion *the particles collide with other particles, other objects, and the walls of their contai  
🗑
Pressure   is the amount of force applied per unit of area. When particles collide with their container, pressure results.  
🗑
Pressure and Volume   when the volume is greater, the particles have more room to move (fewer collisions-pressure is less).  
🗑
Boyle's Law:   states that pressure of a gas increases if the volume decreases and pressure of a gas decreases if the volume increases, when temperature is constant.  
🗑
Charles Law   states that the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, if the pressure is constant.  
🗑
At absolute zero or 0 K (kelvin)   all particles are at the lowest possible energy state and do not move.  
🗑


   

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.
