Investigating Matter Flashcards
Matter
Anything that takes up space
Volume measurements
L, ml, cm3, m3, cups
Mass measurements
Kg, g, pounds, ounces
Atoms
Building blocks of matter
States of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
Kinetic molecular theory
Energy of motion. When all the gasses, liquids, and solids are moving, an explanation for the behaviour of molecules.
(All particles are moving because of the energy it passes.)
Particles with KE 👆🏻move quicker
Particles with KE👇🏻 move slower
