Chapter Two Flashcards
Solid
A definite shape and a define volume
Crystalline solid
When it is heated to a certain temp. It will melt
Amorphous solid
It does not have a certain melting point it only gets mushy.
Liquid
Has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Fluid
Meaning a substance that flows
Surface tension
An inward force or pull among the molecules in a liquid
Viscosity
A liquids resistance of flowing
Gas
Has neither a definite shape or definite volume.
Volume
The amount of space matter fills
Pressure
The force of its outward push divided by the area of the walls
Temperature
Is a measure of the energy of a random motion of the particles of matter
Charles law
When pressure is increased its volume increases when the temputre of a gas is at constant pressure is decreased its volume decreases
Directly proportional
When a graph of 2 variables is a straight line passing through the organ the variables are said to be DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL
Boyle’ s law
The relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas
Inversely proportional
When a product of two variables is constant, the variables are INVERSELY PROPORTIONATE.
