States of Matter Flashcard

Front

What happens to the motion of particles when freezing occurs?

Back

The motion of the particles decreases (move slower).

Front

When heat increases, the particles move_______________________ and spread further apart.

Back

faster.

Front

In the phase of sublimation, what happens to the motion of the particles?

Back

The motion of the particles increases.

Front

True or False: Placing a balloon in a freezer will cause the balloon to expand.

Back

False.

Front

What happens to the motion of the particles when going from a solid to a liquid?

Back

The motion of the particles increases (moves faster).

Front

What are the three main states of matter?

Back

Solid, Liquid, Gas.

Front

What is sublimation?

Back

The process where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid.

Front

What happens to the particles in a gas compared to a solid?

Back

Particles in a gas move faster and are more spread out than in a solid.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the state of matter?

Back

Increasing temperature can change a solid to a liquid (melting) or a liquid to a gas (evaporation).

Front

What is condensation?

Back

The process where a gas changes into a liquid.
