Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid turns into gas.

Front

This state of matter allows particles to 'slip past' each other and take the shape of its container.

Back

Liquid is the state of matter where particles can move past each other.

Front

In this state of matter, the particles are 'tightly packed' together and do not move.

Back

Solid is the state of matter where particles are closely packed and do not move.

Front

Which state of matter has closely spaced particles?

Back

Solid has closely spaced particles.

Front

What state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?

Back

Liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.

Front

What is the state of matter where particles are far apart and move freely?

Back

Gas is the state of matter where particles are far apart and move freely.

Front

What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated?

Back

When a solid is heated, its particles gain energy and may begin to vibrate and move, potentially melting into a liquid.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where gas turns into a liquid.

Front

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Back

Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid at any temperature, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid at a specific temperature.

Front

What is melting?

Back

Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid.
