Particle Theory of Matter Flashcard

Front

What is the Particle Theory of Matter?

Back

The Particle Theory of Matter states that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion. The properties of matter depend on the arrangement and movement of these particles.

What happens during deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process where a gas turns directly into a solid without passing through the liquid state, and it involves the removal of energy from the gas particles.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where gas particles lose energy and transition into a liquid state, causing them to move slower.

Front

What is the state of matter where particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place?

Back

Solid.

Front

What is the state of matter where particles are close together but can slide past each other?

Back

Liquid.

Front

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

Back

Gas.

Front

How do gas particles behave in a container?

Back

Gas particles fill the entire container completely, taking its shape.

Front

What is freezing?

Back

Freezing is the process where a liquid turns into a solid as energy is removed from the liquid.

Front

What is melting?

Back

Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid as energy is added to the solid.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where a liquid turns into a gas as energy is added.
