Fill in the Blanks

When a substance

it loses thermal energy to its surroundings.

Fill in the Blanks

A shrinking puddle is an example of

that takes place only on the surface of a liquid

Fill in the Blanks

At its boiling temperature, the particles of a liquid are moving

that they begin to form regular patterns

Multiple Choice

In which state of matter are particles packed tightly together in fixed positions?

• gas

• solid

• liquid

• compound

Multiple Choice

The opposite of vaporization is called

• condensation

• sublimation

• evaporation

• freezing

Multiple Choice

• crystal

• liquid

• gas

• solid

Multiple Choice

Particles of a liquid

• are tightly packed together and stay in a fixed position

• have no viscosity

• decrease in volume with increasing temperature

• are free to move around one another but still touch

Multiple Choice

The state of matter in which particles are arranged in either a crystalline or an amorphous form is

• liquid

• gas

• solid

• fluid

Multiple Choice

The change from liquid to solid, or the reverse of melting, is called

• condensation

• boiling

• sublimation

• freezing

Multiple Choice

The surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called
