  • What is the term for the phase change of a solid into a gas?
    Sublimation
  • What is the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
    All matter is made of tiny particles-atoms/molecules, that are in constant motion. The state of matter determines how tightly these particles are packed/bonded
  • What state of matter has particles packed close together, vibrating in a fixed position?
    Solid
  • What is the term for the phase change from a liquid to a gas?
    Vaporization/Boiling/Evaporation
  • Describe the heat movement as a liquid changes into a gas.
    Heat goes into the liquid as it is vaporized
  • Which state of matter is characterized by definite volume, no definite shape, takes the shape of container, has particles are tightly packed, but far enough apart to slide over one another?
    Liquid
  • Particles vibrate or move around ______ if the matter is cooled.
    Less
  • What is Matter?
    anything that has weight and takes up space
  • What is the heat movement during the melting phase?
    Heat goes into the solid as it melts
  • What is a System?
    The set of interacting substances and energy that is being studied.
  • Heat Movement during condensation
    Heat leaves the gas as it condenses
  • Heat Movement during Sublimation, phase change from a solid to a gas?
    Heat goes into the solid as it sublimates
  • What is Expansion?
    an increase in material's volume when its temperature increases.
  • What state of matter is characterized by no definite volume, no definite shape, it takes the shape of container, and has particles are very far apart that move freely except when they collide?
    Gas
  • What is Thermal Energy?
    the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature and due to the movement of the particles within
  • What is the term for the phase change of a liquid into a solid?
    Freezing
  • Particles vibrate or move around _______ if the matter is heated.
    More
  • What is a Phase Change?
    the transformation of one state of matter into another, result of adding or removing thermal energy
  • What is the heat movement during the phase change of liquid to a solid?
    Heat leaves the liquid as it freezes
  • What is the term for the phase change of a gas into a liquid?
    Condensation
  • What is Charles’s Law?
    the volume of gas increases as the temperature increases, V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
  • What is Contraction?
    A decrease in a material’s volume when its temperature decreases.
  • What is the term for the phase change of a solid to a liquid?
    Melting
