states of matter Flashcards
arrangements of liquids
close, randomly arranged
arrangements of gas
far apart, randomly arranged
movement of a solid
vibrate around in a fixed arrangement
movement of a gas
move quickly in all directions, overlap
melting
solid to liquid
boiling
liquid to gas from the surface of a liquid
freezing
liquid to solid
evaporation
liquid to gas at the surface of liquids
condensation
gas to liquid
sublimation
solid to gas
describe melting
process requires heat energy which transforms into kinetic energy and allows the solid particles to move
describe boiling
requires heat which causes bubbles of gas to form below the surface of liquid and then rise and escape from the surface
describe freezing
significant decrease in temperature and energy causing particles to stop moving
describe evaporation
high energy particles escape liquids at low temperatures
describe condensation
when gas particles lose energy so when they bump into each other they lack energy to bounce away and group to form a liquid
