Chapter 10 Review: States of Matter Fall 24

Front

What are the three main states of matter?

Back

Solid, Liquid, Gas.

Front

What is a solid?

Back

A state of matter with a definite shape and volume, where particles are closely packed together.

Front

What is a liquid?

Back

A state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape, where particles are close but can move past each other.

Front

What is a gas?

Back

A state of matter with no definite shape or volume, where particles are far apart and move freely.

Front

What is plasma?

Back

A state of matter similar to gas but with charged particles, found in stars and lightning.

Front

How do particles behave in a solid?

Back

Particles vibrate in place but do not move freely.

Front

How do particles behave in a liquid?

Back

Particles are close together but can slide past one another, allowing liquids to flow.

Front

How do particles behave in a gas?

Back

Particles move rapidly and are far apart, filling the container they are in.

Front

What happens to the energy of particles as temperature increases?

Back

The energy of particles increases, causing them to move faster.

Front

What happens to the state of matter when temperature decreases?

Back

Particles lose energy, which can lead to a change in state (e.g., gas to liquid).
