Chapter 2 Flashcards
The physical forms of matter, which include solid, liquid, and gas.
States of Matter
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed.
Solid
The state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape (takes the shape of its container).
Liquid
The force that acts on the surface of a liquid and that tends to minimize the area of the surface.
Surface Tension
The resistance of a gas or liquid to flow.
Viscosity
A form of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape.
Gas
A measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically , a measure of the movement of particles.
Temprature
A measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional space.
Volume
The amount of force exerted per unit area a surface.
Pressure
The law that states that the volume of a gas in inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas when temperature is constant.
Boyle’s Law
The law that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant.
Charles’s Law
The change of a substance from one physical state to another.
Change of State
The change of state in which a solid becomes a liquid by adding energy.
Melting
The chance of a substance from a liquid to a gas.
Evaporation
The convection of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
