States Of Matter Flashcards
Condensing
The process of gas changing into liquid
Sublimation
The change of gas turning in to a solid without being a liquid
Evaporation
The change of liquid to gas
Freezing
The change of state from a liquid to a solid
Melting
Melting the change of state from solid to liquid
Boiling point
The temperature at which a substance boils at. The substance evaporates quickly.
Melting point
The temperature at which a substance melts at (solid into a liquid). A liquid can freeze at the same temperature.
Particle model
A description of the moving particles that make up all matter and how they behave. The model explains solids, liquids and gases
Fog
It is a visible mass consisting of cold water droplets or ice suspended in the air or the earths surface.
Expansion
Increase in size due to the movement of particles in a substance
Meteorologist
Scientist who use observation of the atmosphere to predict or explain the weather
The properties of a solid 3 examples
- Take up a iced amount of space
- Not able to be compressed
- Define shape cannot be changed easily
The properties of a liquid 3 examples
- Liquids take up a fixed amount of space
- Can not be compressed
- It’s shape is kept to the shape of the container
Properties of gas 3 examples
- It spreads unless kept in a container
- It diffuses and take up as much space as it can
- Can be compressed
Explain diffusion and give an example
Diffusion is the spreading out or movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration to create equilibrium
Example-a perfume/spray
