States of Matter C
Mass
The amount of matter an object has. Measured by a balance.
Volume
The amount of space an object takes up.
The volume of this state of matter can change
gas
the state of matter with no definite volume and no definite shape
gas
Deposition
gas to solid
freezing
Liquid to Solid
Liquid to gas at the surface (any temperature)
evaporation
Weight
A measure of the effect of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Crystalline Solid
A solid that has molecules and atoms arranged in a repeating pattern
Amorphic Solid
A solid where molecules and atoms have no special arrangement. e.g. plastic, rubber, wood
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Endothermic
Energy is added or absorbed by a substance (absorbing heat)
Exothermic
Energy is removed or taken out of a substance (release of heat)
Two types of Vaporization
Evaporating and Boiling
Condensation
Gas to Liquid
How would you describe the particles in a gas
Particles moving very fast and freely (have overcome attraction). No intermolecular attraction.
Physical Properties
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.
How do you describe the particles in a solid?
Strong attraction between particles. Locked tightly together (touching) and vibrate.
How do you describe the particles in a liquid
Weaker attraction between particles(still touching) but allows particle to slide past each other
Physical Change
When matter changes its form or shape.
the state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
liquid
Boiling
liquid changing to a gas under the surface and at a specific temperature
solid to liquid
melting
This state of matter holds its shape when placed in different size containers
solid
the state of matter with a definite volume and definite shape
solid
Sublimation
solid to gas
states of matter (common)
solid, liquid, and gas
