Matter, Changes of State, and Behavior of Fluids Flashcards
Always in motion
Matter
Set volume, set shape
Solids
Crystalline/Amorphus
Solids
Particles are moving but very slightly back and forth(vibrating)
Solids
Same melting and boiling point, regular repeating 3D patterns
Crystalline solids
Salt, sugar, snow, sand, metals
Crystalline
Plastics, rubber, glass, foams, alloys
Amorphous
Set volume, no set shape
Liquids
Particles are packed closely together, but move about freely
Liquids
Take on the shape of their container
Liquids
No set volume or shape
Gases
Take on the shape and volume of whatever container they are placed in
Gases
Highest amount of kinetic energy
Gases
Viscosity
Liquids resistance to flow
High viscosity
Slow flowing liquid, Ex: honey, syrup, glue
Low viscosity
Fast flowing liquid, Ex: water, juice, milk
Thermal energy
The total amount of kinetic energy and potential Energy in a substance
Heat
The transfer of thermal energy from one object to another
Temperature
The average amount of kinetic energy of particles in a given substance
Heat’s way of flowing
Always flows from HOT TO COLD
