Front

What type of energy is required to change a solid into a liquid?

Back

Heat energy is required to change a solid into a liquid.

Front

What is the state of water when it changes from a liquid to a gas?

Back

The state of water when it changes from a liquid to a gas is vapor.

Front

How do the particles in a solid behave?

Front

What is a defining characteristic of a liquid regarding its shape and volume?

Back

A liquid has no definite shape but has a definite volume.

Front

What are the smallest particles of matter called?

Back

The smallest particles of matter are called atoms.

Front

What happens to the energy of particles when a solid melts?

Back

When a solid melts, the energy of the particles increases, allowing them to move more freely.

Front

What is the process called when a liquid turns into a gas?

Back

The process when a liquid turns into a gas is called evaporation.

Front

What is the difference between a solid and a liquid in terms of particle arrangement?

Back

In a solid, particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement, while in a liquid, particles are close together but can move past one another.

Front

What is the term for the change of state from gas to liquid?

Back

The change of state from gas to liquid is called condensation.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the state of matter?

Back

Temperature affects the state of matter; increasing temperature can cause solids to melt into liquids and liquids to evaporate into gases.
