Chemistry C3.1 States of Matter Flashcards
What name is given to the process that turns liquid into a solid?
Freezing
Which state of matter has no definite volume or shape?
Gas
In which of the three states of matter are the particles furthest apart?
Gas
In which of the three states of matter do the particles transfer significant amounts of energy by both conduction and convection?
Liquid. Conduction requires particles to be close together and convection requires particles to be able to move freely. These conditions can only both be met in a liquid.
Give the name of the state of matter that has rows of atoms in a regular arrangement.
Solid
Which state is being described here? The particles are moving quickly and are far apart from each other. They sometimes collide but apart from this they do not touch. There is almost no force holding them together.
Gas
In which of the three states of matter are the particles arranged in a regular pattern?
Solid
In which of the three states of matter are the forces of attraction between the particles strongest?
Solid
Which state is being described here? The particles can move and slide past each other. They are very close together but they are not in a fixed pattern. There are forces between the particles but they are weak.
Liquid
The state of matter in which particles have the least energy is called the __________ state. What word completes the sentence?
Solid
What name is given to the temperature when a liquid turns into a gas?
Boiling point
What state symbol is used to show that a substance is in liquid form?
(L)
In which of the three states of matter do the particles have least energy?
Solid
Which state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
Liquid
