    Neither
  • Matter has 3 main states:
    Solid, Liquid, Gas
  • TRUE or FALSE: A system requires energy to change from a solid state to a liquid state.
    True
  • In which state are the particles of matter very close in an organized way?
    Solid
  • TRUE or FALSE: The freezing point will always be a lower temperature than the boiling point.
    True
  • TRUE or FALSE: You can change a solid into a liquid by freezing it.
    False
  • Changing from a solid to a liquid is called....
    Melting
  • Explain how a puddle of water disappears on a sunny day
    The liquid water is heated by the sun. The liquid water evaporates and changes to water vapor.

  • Changing from a liquid to a gas is called....
    Vaporization / Boiling
  • What can cause matter to change states?
    Adding / removing energy
