States Of Matter Flashcards
Name the three states of matter and the physical changes that occur between them
Solid , liquid , gas
As a gas there is low energy
As a solid there is high energy
Arrangement of the particules and movement as a gas
The arrangement is that they are spread everywhere and the movement is that they move quickly in all directions and have random movements
Arrangement of the particules and movement as a liquid
The arrangement is that they are all together and are non - compressible and the movement is that they move around with each other but are touching at all times
Arrangement of the particules and movement as a solid
The arrangement of the particles is that they are tightly compact and in compressible they are also very dense the movement of the particles is that they vibrate on the spot in a fixed position
What is it called when a gas changes to a liquid
Condensation
What is it called when a liquid changes to a solid
Freezing
What is it called when a solid turns into a gas
Sublimation
What is it called when a solid turns to a liquid
Melting
What is it called when a liquid turns to a gas
Boiling / evaporation
What is it called when a gas turns to a solid
Deposition
Why does the movement and arrangement of particles change during change of states
Because the particles loose and gain energy
