Matter Flashcards
What are the 3 states of matter?
What is all matter made of?
Particles
What type of energy do particles have?
Kinetic (movement) energy
How does the kinetic energy of particles in the 3 states compare?
How does the distance between particles compare in the 3 states?
Which state of matter is shown below?
Solid
Which state of matter is shown below?
Liquid
Which state of matter is shown below?
Gas
What are the properties of solids?
What are the properties of liquids?
What are the properties of gases?
What is diffusion?
What 2 factors are necessary for diffusion to happen?
Movement of particles and spaces for them to move into.
What effect does temperature have on diffusion?
What are 6 properties of gases?
What are 6 properties of solids?
What are 6 properties of liquids?
What is diffusion?
The particles of one substance moving through the particles of another
In which state does diffusion happen most quickly?
Gas
Which experiment shows that liquids have spaces?
Water and alcohol mixing
Place the 3 states in order of density starting with most dense.
- solids
- liquids
- gases
What does “flow” mean?
The ability of particles to move free from one another.
What is compression?
Using force to squeeze particles closer together into a smaller volume.
Why can’t solids and liquids be easily compressed?
Because the particles are already very closely packed together
