States 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!  

Question
Answer
physical state of a material, whether a solid, a liquid, or a gas, which depends mostly on how the material's atoms and molecules are arranged and how they move   state of matter  
🗑
anything that has mass and takes up space and whose particles are in constant motion   matter  
🗑
states that the particles of all matter are in constant random motion   kinetic theory of matter  
🗑
temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid   melting point  
🗑
heat required to melt one kilogram of a solid at its melting point   heat of fusion  
🗑
temperature at which attractive forces trap particles in a cooling liquid and form crystals   freezing point  
🗑
temperature at which added heat energy causes the molecules of a liquid to move faster and the liquid's particles to enter the gaseous state in large numbers   boiling point  
🗑
amount of energy required to change one kilogram of a liquid into a gas   heat of vaporization  
🗑
process by which the fastest moving molecules of a liquid escape from the surface and form a gas   evaporation  
🗑
process where particles in a cooling gas slow down and come together to form droplets of liquid   condensation  
🗑
mixing of particles in a gas or a liquid   diffusion  
🗑
states that the pressure exerted on any point of a confined fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid   Pascal's principle  
🗑
mass of an object divided by its volume   density  
🗑
states that when an object is placed in a fluid, the object weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of the displaced fluid   Archimedes' principle  
🗑
decrease in the weight of an object in a fluid due to the net upward force caused by the displaced fluid   buoyancy  
🗑


   

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.
