Flashcards: Matter/Topic 2

Front

solid

Back

A state of matter with definite shape and volume

Front

liquid

Back

A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume (takes on the shape of the container it is in).

Front

gas

Back

A state of matter with no definite shape or volume

Front

Boyle's Law

Back

Describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature; if pressure increases then volume decreases

Front

Charles's Law

Back

Describes the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure; if temperature increases then volume increases

Front

Amonton's Law

Back

Describes the relationship between temperature and pressure; if the volume of a gas is held constant, increasing the temperature of the gas increases its pressure.

Front

Change of State

Back

the change of a substance from one physical state to another due to an increase or decrease in kinetic energy

Front

Sublimation

Back

A change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid; increase in kinetic energy

Front

Deposition

Back

A change from gas directly to a solid; decrease in kinetic energy

Front

Vaporization

Back

The change of state from a liquid to a gas THROUGHOUT ENTIRE SUBSTANCE; increase in kinetic energy
