Chapter 2 Flashcards
the physical forms of matter, which include solid liquid, and gas.
States of matter
state if matter that has a definite shape and volume
Solid
state of matter that only has a definite volume
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 flow
viscocity
a form of matter that has no definite shape or volume
gas
a measure of how hot or cold something is
temperature
a measure of the size of a body or region in 3D space
volume
the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
pressure
law that states when temperature goes up, the volume of gas will grow
Charles’s Law
law that states that the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of gas when a temperature is constant
Boyle’s Law
change of state from a solid to a liquid
melting
changing from liquid to gas
evaporation
change from a liquid to a vapor
boiling
change from a solid to a gas instantly
sublimation
