Unit 2 - States of Matter Flashcards
This state is matter is produced when a cloud of bosons is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zeros such that a large fraction of the bosons condense
Bose-Einstein COndensate (BEC)
A physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from solid to a liquid
Melting
It occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase
Evaporation
It is when a substance changes from solid to gas without passing through a liquid hase
Sublimation
It is when a substance change from gas to liquid
Condensation
A phase transition where liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered
Freezing
A phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through liquid
Deposition
It is the property that becomes evident during chemical reaction
Chemical Property
It is a property that can be measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance
Physical Property
WHat are the 2 categories of Physical Properties
Intensive/Intrinsic Properties
Extensive/Extrinsic Properties
The ability to transfer thermal energy to something else
Thermal COnductivity
The form in which matter exists
State
The ability to be pounded into thin sheets
Malleability
The ability to be drawn into thin wires
Ductility
The ability for one substance to dissolve into another substance
Solubility
Mass per unit volume
Density
the ability of transmitting the flow of energy, electricity and sound
Conductivity
ability of a liquid to dissolve in another liquid.
Miscibility
property of a solid to resist compression or scratching.
Hardness
is the temperature at which a substance begins to change from solid to liquid.
Melting point
is the temperature at which a substance begins to bubble up and change from liquid to gas.
Boiling point
property of some materials that makes them easily break or crumble to pieces.
Brittleness
It is the ability to burn
Flammability
It is the ability when 2 substances get together, something can happen
Reactivity
