Sci. - Matter, Transformation of Particles Flashcards
What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Example: Air, Water, Table
What are the four postulates in the theory of matter?
Constant motion.
Spaces between the particles.
Higher energy = more speed and space between particles.
Multiple atoms make a molecule.
(CSHM)
What is mass?
amount of matter in a given object.
What is density?
Density describes how concentrated something is
What is solid to gas called?
Sublimation
What is gas to solid called?
Deposition
What is liquid to gas called?
Vaporization/Evaporation
What is Gas to Liquid called?
Condensation
What is Solid to Liquid called?
Melting
What is Liquid to Solid called?
Freezing
What is Gas to Plasma called?
Ionization
What is Plasma to Gas called?
Deionization/Recombination
How do particles in a solid act?
Vibrates in place
Packed tight together
cannot move past one another
How do particles in a liquid act?
Loosely packed
Can slide past one another
has more energy level than solids
How do particles in a gas act?
High energy levels and speeds
Particles far apart
can move freely
