Particles are always moving. True or False?
True, depending on the amount of energy they have some move faster than others.
Matter in this state has a definite shape, a definite volume, and can't be compressed.
solid
What happens to the particles of a liquid when we add heat/ energy?
The particles move faster and spread out more, it turns into a gas.
color, shape, texture, odor, taste, malleability, conductivity, elasticity, magnetism, relative density, mass, opacity, volatility, diffusion, transparency and solubility are examples of what type of property?
physical property
Which property determines if something will float or sink?
density
The ability of matter to dissolve in something else
solubility
For a liquid to become a solid, heat energy needs to be: added or removed?
Removed! The temperature needs to be colder.
Anything that has weight and takes up space
matter
Matter is not destroyed and it is not
created
What property of plastic makes it a good choice for the pot handle?
It is an insulator. It doesn't conduct heat.
When heat is added to a solid, it becomes this state of matter.
liquid
When something burns, which property is it: a physical or a chemical change?
chemical
Which property could help you identify between aluminium and iron?
Magnetism. Iron is magnetic, aluminium isn't.
The amount of space that an object takes up
volume
The characteristics that we use to describe matter, for example: color, texture, flammability, magnetism, reactivity, toxicity, etc.
properties
