What state is a substance if it’s particles are NOT touching and are always moving?
Gas
What state is a particle in if it can touch each other but can move past each other?
Liquid
What particle state is much more spread out?
Gas
What particle state can match the shape of a container?
Liquid
Do crystalline solids have a regular repeating pattern or a disrupted arrangement?
Repeating pattern
What is an amorphous solid?
A disrupted arrangement that particles are associated and hold their shape
What is a crystalline solid?
A regular, ordered, repeating pattern that forms a solid lattice
True or False: Gas particles touch
False
What particle state is arranged in a regular pattern of lines and rows?
Solid State
What particle state are arranged randomly?
Liquid State
True or False: Solid particles vibrate on the spot
True
What is condensation?
A change of state from a gas to a liquid
How does condensation happen?
When you cool down a gas and reduce the energy of it’s particles
What is boiling?
A change from liquid to gas
How does boiling happen?
When liquid particles are heated, making them move faster and faster
What is the end result of boiling?
Particles move quickly without touching turning to gas
What is freezing?
When a liquid turns into a solid
How does freezing happen?
Cooling down a liquid until the particles slow down, vibrating close together, making the particle arrangement into a solid
What is melting?
A change from a solid to a liquid
How does melting happen?
When the solid particles get extra energy, making them vibrate faster and faster to break away from it’s fixed position. Making them move freely over each other, turning into a liquid
What is evaporation?
A change from liquid to gas
What is the difference from evaporation and boiling?
Evaporation can happen at any temperature
Why does evaporation happen?
Different particles in a liquid have different amounts of energy
What happens in evaporation, when the particles gain enough energy to break free?
The physical state will become a gas
