C) plasma

A measurement of how strongly particles attract one another at the surface of a liquid is _________________________.

Forces between particles

Crystalline Solid

Is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscope structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions

Amorphous Solid

Is any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern

Solid

Is matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume

Gas

Is matter that has no definite volume and shape

Liquid

Matter with a definite volume but no definite shape

Define solid, liquid and gas in your own words.

Solid is a type of matter that has a definite shape and volume. A liquid is a type of matter that has a definite volume but has no definite shape. A gas is a type of matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape.

Vapor

The gas state of a substance that is normally solid or liquid at room temperature

Surface Tension

The uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid

A measurement of a liquids resistance to flow is known as _____________________.
