Charper 2: Solids, Liquids, Gased, and Plasma Flashcards
Amorphous Solids
A solid that doe not have distinct melting point
Crystalline Solids
Melts at a distinct temperature
Crystalline Solids: Water (what happens)
turns straight into a liquid
Amorphous Solid: Glass (what happens)
Gets softer as its heated
Viscosity
This is a measure of the resistance of a liquid to flowing
High Viscosity Liquids
High viscosity flows slowly
Low Viscosity
Low viscosity flows quickly
Adhesion
To sick to other substances or surfaces
Cohesion
To stick to each other
Gases
Have no definite shape or volume, can be compressed
Plasma
Electrons are stripped from atoms
Liquid
Has no shape, have a definite volume, particles move freely
Surface Tension
Organized pattern of molecules in the surface plane
Capillary Action
How blood gets to your eyes
Direct Realationship
Between volume and temperature
