States of Matter Vocabulary

Question 1

The Physical forms of matter, which include solid, liquid, gas.

Answer 1

States of Matter

Question 2

The state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape.

Answer 2

Liquid

Question 3

A measure of how hot(cold) something is: specifically, a measure of the movement of particles.

Answer 3

Temperature

Question 4

• The amount of liquid that the container can hold.

Answer 4

Volume

Question 5

Is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area.

Answer 5

Pressure

Question 6

Reactions between Volume and Pressure of a gas which makes CONSTANT = temperature. Inverse relationship and if volume increases then pressure increases. If volume decreases then pressure increases.

Answer 6

Boyle’s Law

Question 7

Relationship between volume and temperature makes CONSTANT = Pressure, directly proportional relationship, and If temperature increases then volume increases. If temperature decreases then volume increases.

Answer 7

Charles’s Law

Question 8

the physical process where matter moves from one state to another. Examples of such changes are melting,evaporation, boiling, condensation, freezing, crystallization, and sublimation.

Answer 8

Change of State

Question 9

At the melting point, the ordering of ions or molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state, and the solid melts to become a liquid

Answer 9

Melting

Question 10

It is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase before reaching its boiling point. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance.

Answer 10

Evaporation

Question 11

the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere.

Answer 11

Boiling

Question 12

Is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of evaporation.

Answer 12

Condensation

Question 13

is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

Answer 13

Sublimation

Question 14

Is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. In contrast, solidification is a similar process where a liquid turns into a solid, not by lowering its temperature, but by increasing the pressure that it is under.

Answer 14

Freezing

Question 15

A form of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape.

Answer 15

Gas
