Particle Model Flashcards
In which state of matter do particles vibrate in a fixed position?
Solid
Which state of matter has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
Liquid
In which state do particles generally have the most energy?
Gas
Which state of matter does not have a fixed shape or volume?
Gas
In which change of state are particles loosely packed in random arrangement?
Liquid
Which change of state occurs when a solid is heated?
Melting
Which change of state occurs when a gas is cooled?
Condensation
What change of state is freezing?
Liquid to solid
What change of state is evaporating?
Liquid to gas
What two properties do not change when a substance changes state?
Mass and temperature
Define density.
How heavy an object is (mass) for its size (volume)
What are the units for density?
kg/m3
How do we calculate the volume of a regular object?
Length x heightx width
How do we find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
Use a eureka/dislacement can to measure how much water it displaces
What is the equation for calculating density?
Density = Mass/Volume
