Phases of Matter Review

Front

What is contraction in terms of particle space?

Back

Contraction is when there is less space between particles.

Front

What state of matter is an ice cube?

Back

An ice cube is a solid.

Front

What happens to particle space when it is hot?

Back

When it is hot, particles take up more space.

Front

How many phases/states of matter are there?

Back

There are 3 phases/states of matter.

Front

What must be done to change a gas to a liquid?

Back

To change a gas to a liquid, you must remove heat.

Front

What are the three phases of matter?

Back

The three phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Front

What is the characteristic of solids in terms of particle arrangement?

Back

In solids, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions.

Front

How do liquids differ from solids in terms of particle movement?

Back

In liquids, particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing liquids to flow.

Front

What is the behavior of gas particles?

Back

Gas particles are far apart and move freely, filling the container they are in.

Front

What happens to the energy of particles when heat is added?

Back

When heat is added, the energy of particles increases, causing them to move faster.
