Question
Answer
Phase change   When a substance takes in or gets rid of energy. There is a change from one phase to another (solid, liquid, or gas)  
🗑
Melting   Change from solid to liquid.Arrangement of molecules becomes less orderly, more random  
🗑
Vaporization   Change from liquid to gas. Molecules are spread out, all over  
🗑
Condensation(Liquification)   Change from gas to liquid. Examples: Dew, fog, steam on the mirror after shower  
🗑
Freezing   Change from liquid to solid. Arrangement of molecules becomes more orderly  
🗑
Sublimation   Change from solid to gas. Examples: dry ice, “old ice”, and moth balls undergo sublimation  
🗑
Deposition   Change from gas to solid  
🗑
What are the characteristics of a solid?   Has a definite shape and definite volume  
🗑
How are the particles in a solid arranged?   Particles are packed close together  
🗑
What are the characteristics of a liquid?   Takes the shape of its container and has a definite volume  
🗑
How are the particles in a liquid arranged?   Particles are more random  
🗑
What are the characteristics of a gas?   Fills its container (does not have a definite shape) and does not have a definite volume  
🗑
How are the particles in a gas arranged?   Particles are not in any formation  
🗑
Matter   Substance that has mass and takes up space.  
🗑
Plasma   Plasma is a gas with electricity or electrons (ions)Most common state of matter in the universe  
🗑
BEC-Bose Einstein Condensate   5th state of matter,Very cold  
🗑
Kinetic Molecular Theory   This theory explains why matter behaves as it does. All particles of matter are in constant motion.  
🗑
Absolute Zero   (-273 Celcius or 0 kelvin)- motion of molecules STOPS!  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   Energy of an object due to the motion of its particles or molecules.  
🗑
3 factors that affect gas pressure   Temperature, Volume, Number of particles  
🗑
Boyle's Law   The effects of the pressure and volume of a gas are opposite. So, if volume increases, pressure decreases.  
🗑
Charles Law   The volume of a gas increases at the same rate as the temperature of the gas.  
🗑
pressure   force over area  
🗑


   

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.
