States of Matter

Question 1

What is a Fluid?

Answer 1

A fluid is a free flowing liquid aka (another word for liquid).

Question 2

What is a solid?

Answer 2

A solid is the state of matter that has a definite shape and definite volume.

Question 3

Define Crystalline Solid

Answer 3

A Crystalline solid is a solid that is made up of crystal patterns.

Question 4

Surface Tension

Answer 4

An inward force or pull amongst the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together

Question 5

Amorphous Solid

Answer 5

Particles not arranged in regular pattern, does not melt at a distinct temperature

Question 6

Liquid

Answer 6

Has a definite volume but an indefinite shape

Question 7

Viscosity

Answer 7

A liquid’s resistance to flowing, depends on size and shape of it particles and attractions between the particles

Question 8

Gas

Answer 8

No definite shape or volume

Question 9

Pressure

Answer 9

Is the force of its outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container

Question 10

melting

Answer 10

The change in a state from a solid to a liquid

Question 11

Melting point

Answer 11

When melting occurs at a specific temperature

Question 12

evaporation

Answer 12

Takes place only on the surface of a liquid

Question 13

sublimation

Answer 13

Occurs when the surface particles of a solid gain enough energy that they form a gas

Question 14

boiling

Answer 14

Takes place both below and at the surface of a liquid

Question 15

boiling point

Answer 15

The temperature of which a liquid boils

Question 16

freezing

Answer 16

The change of a state of matter from a liquid to a solid

Question 17

vaporization

Answer 17

The change in state from a liquid to a gas

Question 18

condensation

Answer 18

The change in state from a gas to a liquid

Question 19

Charles’s Law

Answer 19

When the temperature of a gas at constant pressure is increased, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas at a constant pressure is decreased, its volume decreases.

Question 20

Inversely Proportional

Answer 20

When the product of two variables is constant and proportional to each other.

Question 21

Directly Proportional

Answer 21

When a graph of two variables is a straight line passing through the origin, the variables.

Question 22

Boyle’s Law

Answer 22

When the temperature of a gas at constant temperature is increased, its volume decreases. When the pressure of a gas at a constant pressure is decreased, its volume increases.

Question 23

Small Particle Theory - (SPT)

Answer 23

Liquids - Definite volume no definite shape
/Less tightly packed together than solids and more than gas; Flows freely, fluid, random

///Solids - Definite volume and definite shape/Very, very tightly packed sometimes arranged in a perfectly repeating geometric pattern

///Gas - No definite volume or shape.
/Random, high energy moves fast and collides with each other

Question 24

Formula for BOYLE’S Law -

Answer 24

> P = <V and <P = >V

P=pressure
V=volume

Graph would be inversely proportional
