States Of Matter Flashcards
What temperature is absolute zero?
-273*C
What happens to particles at absolute zero?
They stop moving
What do all particles have in common no matter what?
They will always be the same side and shape
What is the process of a solid turning to a liquid called?
Melting
What is the process of a liquid turning to a gas called?
Boiling
What is the process of a gas turning to a liquid called?
Condensing
What is the process of a liquid turning to a solid called?
Freezing
What is the process of a solid turning to a gas called?
Subliminal
What is the process of a gas turning to a solid called?
Desk liming
When a solid turns to a liquid and a liquid turns to a gas, what is happening to the energy in this process?
The energy is absorbed
When a gas turns to a liquid and a liquid turns to a solid, what is happening to the energy in this process?
Energy is released
What is dry ice made up of?
Carbon dioxide
During a change of state, what happens to the temperature of the particles?
It remains constant as the heat energy is absorbed in the state change
In a temperature/time graph what should you include?
The place where states change
When a solid is heated, why does temperature remain constant during state change?
Because when heated the particles gain energy, however this energy is needed to overcome the forces holding the particles together, so the temperature remains constant. Once all forces are broken, the temperature will increase again
