loading
One property that all particles of matter have in common is that they
a. never move in solids.
b. only move in gases.
c.move constantly.
d. None of the above
c. move constantly.
How is it possible for one tank of helium to fill 700 balloons?
The particles of helium (which is a gas) can spread very far apart.
A beaker and a cylinder each contain 300 cc of juice. What does this tell you about the properties of a liquid?
Liquid has a definite volume, but does not have a definite shape (it takes on the shape of the container).
Which is more viscous, water or honey?
honey
The force that acts on the surface of a liquid and minimizes the area of the surface is called _____________.
surface tension
Liquids tend to form spherical droplets because of ________________.
surface tension
How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour liquid in a glass?
The particles slide past each other, then take on the shape of the container.
Give an example of an amorphous solid
glass
Give an example of a crystalline solid.
quartz
How are the partcles in an amorphous solid arranged?
They do not have a special arrangement (they are not arranged in any pattern).
How are the particles in a crystalline solid arranged?
They are arranged in an orderly 3-dimensional arrangement.
What are the 2 kinds of solids?
1. crystalline
2. amorphous
The resistance of a gas or liquid to flow is called _____________.
viscosity
The state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape
liquid
The state of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape
gas
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is called ____________.
solid
The particles of matter that make up a solid
a. vibrate from place to place
b. do not move fast enough to overcome the force of attraction
c. do not move at all.
d.have a weaker attraction than those of a liquid.
b. do not move fast enough to overcome the force of attraction
In this state of matter, particles move fast enough to overcome nearly all of the attraction between them.
gas
In this state of matter, particles are close together and vibrate in place.
solid
In this state of matter, particles are close together but can slide past each other.
liquid
In this state of matter, particles move independently of each other.
gas
In this state of matter, particles have a strong attraction for each other.
solid
Matter is made of tiny particles called
_____________ and ______________.
atoms
molecules
What is a state of matter?
The physical forms of matter, which includes solid, liquid, and gas.
What are the 3 most familiar states of matter?
1. solid
2. liquid
3. gas
