Science Qz chapters 1,2, & 3 Flashcards
Plasma
High energy matter consisting of positively and negatively charged particles.
What state of matter do you find in space?
Plasma
The two main factors that decide the state of matter are?
particle motion and particle forces
Collisions
change the speed and direction of the particles movement
If the SPEED of particles slows down, the particles are?
pulled closer together
As the motion of the particles increases, the particles?
move farther apart
Solid
matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume number
What is an example of a solid?
a skateboard. It moves around but its volume and shape doesn’t change
In a solid, the particles are close together because of their?
strong attractive forces
solids are NOT the same. A diamond’s particles are ________, while charcoal’s particles are _________.
in a pattern + organized, and unorganized + not in a distinct pattern
Liquid
matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
Liquids attractive forces are considered?
weak
Liquids weak attractive forces allow?
particles to sip past one another, and take the shape of the liquids container
Viscosity
a measurement of a liquid’s resistance to flow
What is a liquid that has a high level of Viscosity?
Honey
For many liquids, viscosity decreases when?
its temperature gets warmer
Cohesion
the attraction between similar molecules, such as water molecules.
Because water molecules on the surface of water don’t have water above them, they?
experience a pull downward, and get stretched out like the top of a drum
Surface tension
the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
