state of matter Flashcards
describe the properties of solids
very close in a fixed position can only vibrate can’t move around low kinect and potential energy
describe the properties of liquids
have more energy then solids
can move around each other
still very close
not in a fixed position
describe the properties of gases
Have more energy than liquids can move anywhere are not in any pattern move faster than in liquids can be far a part movement is random
what are the 3 states of matter
solid gas and liquid
solid to liquid
melting
liquid to a solid
freezing
solid to a gas
Sublimation
liquid to gas
evaporating
boiling
gas to liquid
condensing
what is internal energy
Kinect energy + potential energy
what is something energy can’t do
be destroyed or created
Kinect energy
Movement of the particles
Potential energy
Spacing of the particles
the definition of internal energy
The energy stored in a system by its particle
why are gases easy to compress
gaps between particles
there are no force between particles
particles don’t touch
