States of Matter Flashcards
What is it known as if a solid heats into a gas?
Sublimation
Why is there a horizontal line when showing the temperature of cooling/ heated substances?
The horizontal line shows the substance changing state
When a liquid becomes a gas
Evaporation/ boiling
Substance A melts at -20°C, and boils at -5°C. What state is it in at room temperature?
Gas
When a gas cools into a solid.
Deposition
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?
Boiling requires a liquid to be heated into a gas. Evaporation means that the particles from the surface become vapour, which can happen at any temperature.
Freezing is when…
A liquid becomes a solid.
Substance B has a boiling point above 2000°C and a melting point at 1540°C. Is it a liquid at room temperature?
No - it is a solid
Fill the blanks:
The amount of ______ needed to change state from a solid to a ______ and from a liquid to a gas depends on the ________ of the ______________ forces between the particles of the substance.
Energy
Liquid
Strength
Intermolecular
When a liquid becomes a gas, it is known as…
Condensation
What is substance C at room temperature if its melting point is at 100°C and its boiling point is at 245°C?
Solid
Melting is when a…
Solid is heated to become a liquid
Fill the blanks:
