Chapter 3: Solids, Liquids, and Gases

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
state of matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume   solid  
🗑
state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape of its own   liquid  
🗑
state of matter that has no definite shape and no definite volume   gas  
🗑
What causes a solid to have a definite shape and volume?   The fixed closely packed arrangement of particles  
🗑
solids that are made up of crystals   crystalline solid  
🗑
in this type of solid, the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern   amorphous solid  
🗑
Why causes a liquid to not have a definite shape?   the particles are free to move  
🗑
another name for a liquid; "a substance that flows"   fluid  
🗑
the result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together   surface tension  
🗑
a liquid's resistance to flowing   viscosity  
🗑
Why does a gas not have a definite shape or volume?   As they move, the particles spread apart, filling all of the space available.  
🗑
the change in state from a solid to a liquid   melting  
🗑
the change in state from a liquid to a solid   freezing  
🗑
the change in state from a liquid to a gas (general)   vaporization  
🗑
the specific point at which melting occurs   melting point  
🗑
How do solids melt at their melting point?   the particles are vibrating so fast that they break free from their fixed positions  
🗑
What happens at a liquid's freezing temperature?   the particles are moving so slowly that they begin to form regular patterns  
🗑
When does vaporization take place?   when the particles of a liquid gain enough energy to form a gas  
🗑
vaporization that takes place only on the surface of a liquid   evaporation  
🗑
vaprization that takes place below its surface as well as at the surface   boiling  
🗑
the temperature at which a liquid boils   boiling point  
🗑
the opposite of vaporization   condensation  
🗑
When does condensation occur?   when particles in a gas loss enough thermal energy to form a liquid  
🗑
the change in state from a solid to a gas   sublimation  
🗑
What happens during sublimation?   particles of a solid do not pass through the liquid state as they form a gas  
🗑
What is "dry ice"?   solid carbon dioxide (CO 2)  
🗑
What is it helpful to know when working with a gas?   its volume, temperature, and pressure  
🗑
the amount of space that matter fills   volume  
🗑
What is the volume of a gas?   it is the same as the volume of its container?  
🗑
Why is the volume of a gas the same as the volume of its container?   gas particles move and fill the space available  
🗑
the force of its outward push divided by thee area of the walls of the container   pressure  
🗑
How do you calculate pressure?   force/area  
🗑
Why does a ball leak even when it has a tiny hole?   the higher the pressure inside the ball results in gas particles hitting the inner surface of the ball more often. Therefore, gas particles inside the ball reach the hole and escape more often than gas particles outside the ball reach the hole and enter  
🗑
he found that when the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increases.   Boyle's law  
🗑
What is the relationship between temperature and pressure?   When the temperature of a gas at a constant volume is increased, the pressure of the gas increases. When the temperature is decreased, the pressure of the gas decreases.  
🗑
he found that when the temperature of a gas increased at constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is decreased at constant pressure, then volume decreases.   Charles's law  
🗑


   

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.
