The Three States Flashcards
In which state do atoms have strong bonds between them?
Solid
Describe motion of particles in a solid, liquid and gas
S = Vibrating, L = Sliding, G = quick & random
In which state can diffusion NOT happen?
Solid
In which states, can particles not be compressed?
Solid & liquid
Which state is the least dense?
Gas
Which state is the densest?
Solid
In which state are there weaker forces between particles?
Gases
In which state do particles remain in a fixed position?
Solid
What is the name for the change of state when a solid change
to a liquid?
Melted
What is the name for the change of state when a liquid
changes to a gas?
Evaporation
What is the name for the change of state when a gas changes
to a liquid?
Condensation
What is the name for the change of state when a liquid
changes to a solid?
Freezing/solidifying
What is the name for the temperature where a liquid turns
into a gas?
Boiling point
What is the name for the temperature where a solid turns into
a liquid?
Melting point
Why is there no overall temperature change when a substance
is changing state?
The particles are absorbing thermal energy to
overcome the forces between them.
