Front

What are the three states of matter?

Back

Solid, Liquid, Gas.

Front

What happens to the particles in a solid?

Back

The particles vibrate in their positions.

Front

True or False: Melting and freezing occur at the same temperature.

Back

True.

Front

What is a heating curve?

Back

A graph that shows the temperature change of a substance as it is heated over time.

Front

What is a cooling curve?

Back

A graph that shows the temperature change of a substance as it cools over time.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy that an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Which state of matter has the highest kinetic energy?

Back

Gas.

Front

What is the main difference between solids and liquids?

Back

In solids, particles are closely packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, particles are close but can move past each other.

Front

What is the definition of plasma?

Back

A state of matter where gas is energized until atomic electrons are no longer associated with the nucleus.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and particle motion?

Back

As temperature increases, particle motion increases.
