Chapter 16 Flashcards
Particles are very close together in an orderly, fixed and usually crystalline arrangement.
Solid
An endothermic change of state in which a solid becomes a liquid
Melting
The temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a liquid
Melting point
Have enough kinetic energy to be able to move past each other easily, take the shape of their container.
Liquid
Resistant flowing liquids
Viscous
When liquids have attraction for each other
Cohesion
Attraction for particles of solid surfaces
Adhesions
Tendency to decrease their surface area to the smallest size possible, thereby decreasing their energy.
Surface tension
Attractive forces do not have a great effect on particles, which makes the particles independent.
Gas
The temperature and pressure at which the number of liquid particles becoming gas particles is the same as the number of gas particles returning to the liquid phase
Boiling point
The temperature and pressure at which a liquid becomes a solid
Freezing point
Solid to gas
Sublimation
A gas becomes a solid without first becoming a liquid
Deposition
A region that has the same composition and properties throughout
Phase
When particles are constantly moving between two or more phases, yet no net change in the amount of the substance in either phase occurs
Equilibrium
