Q

Which experiment shows that liquids have spaces?

A

17
Q

What is diffusion?

A

The particles of one substance moving through the particles of another

18
Q

A

Gas

19
Q

What was diffusion in liquids experiment

A
20
Q

A
21
Q

Plaace the 3 states in order of diffusion speed.

A
  1. gases
  2. liquids
  3. solids
22
Q

What is needed for diffusion to happen in matter?

A
  1. Particles moving
  2. Spaces for particles to move into
23
Q

What is expansion?

A

Same number of particles with an increse in volume

24
Q

What is contraction?

A

Same number of particles with a decrease in volume

25
Q

Expansion in solids experiment

A
26
Q

Experiment to show expansion in gases

A

The particles gain energy and can move more quickly.

27
Q

Expansion in liquids experiment

A
28
Q

Example of expansion in solids in everyday life.

A

Expansion joints in bridges.

29
Q

Example of expansion in liquids in everyday life

A
30
Q

What is a bi-metallic strip?

A

2 metals joined together with different expansion rates

31
Q

What happens when a bimetallic strip is heated?

A

The free end bends upward.

32
Q

How does a bi-metallic strip fire alarm wor?

A
33
Q

What are the changes of state for water?

A
34
Q

What happens during “Melting” ?

A

A solid turns into a liquid as the particles gain heat energy and vibrate more vigorously

35
Q

What happens during “Evaporation” ?

A

A liquid turns into a gas as the particles gain heat energy and move more quickly

36
Q

What happens during “condensation” ?

A

A gas turns to a liquid as the particles lose heat energy and move less quickly

37
Q

What happens during “Freezing” ?

A

A liquid turns to a solid as the particles lose heat energy and move less quickly

38
Q

Where can water found in soil surface move to?

A
39
Q

Where can water in plants move to

A
