18
Q

What is diffusion?

A

The particles of one substance moving through the particles of another

19
Q

In which state does diffusion happen most quickly?

A

Gas

20
Q

Which experiment shows that liquids have spaces?

A

Water and alcohol mixing

21
Q

Place the 3 states in order of density starting with most dense.

A
  1. solids
  2. liquids
  3. gases
22
Q

What does “flow” mean?

A

The ability of particles to move free from one another.

23
Q

What is compression?

A

Using force to squeeze particles closer together into a smaller volume.

24
Q

Why can’t solids and liquids be easily compressed?

A

Because the particles are already very closely packed together

25
Q

What was diffusion in liquids experiment?

A
26
Q

What was diffusion in gases experiment?

A
27
Q

Place the 3 states in order of diffusion speed.

A
  1. gases
  2. liquids
  3. solids
28
Q

What is needed for diffusion to happen in matter?

A
  1. Particles moving
  2. Spaces for particles to move into
29
Q

What is expansion?

A

Same number of particles with an increse in volume

30
Q

What is contraction?

A

Same number of particles with a decrease in volume

31
Q

What are the changes of state for water?

A
32
Q

What happens during “Melting” ?

A

A solid turns into a liquid as the particles gain heat energy and vibrate more vigorously

33
Q

What happens during “condensation” ?

A

A gas turns to a liquid as the particles lose heat energy and move less quickly

34
Q

What happens during “Evaporation” ?

A

A liquid turns into a gas as the particles gain heat energy and move more quickly

35
Q

What happens during “Freezing” ?

A

A liquid turns to a solid as the particles lose heat energy and move less quickly

36
