has a definite shape and volume, difficult to compress these particles

23
Q

ratio of mass per unit volume

24
what type of solid is this: a solid whose atoms ions and molecules are arranged in an orderly, geometric, three dimensional structure
Crystalline Solids
25
what type of solid is this: consists of positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of mobile electrons
Metallic Solids
26
what type of solid is this: not arranged in a regular, repeating pattern
Amorphous solids
27
has a definite volume but takes the shape of the container
liquid
28
why do liquids flow easily
its particles have enough space and have less attractive force
29
this is the ability to flow, gases and liquids are classified under this
Fluidity
30
measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity
31
what energy increases when the temperature increases
Kinetic Energy
32
the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount
Surface Tension
33
a measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior
Surface Tension
34
in capillary action, what are the two forces at work
cohesion and adhesion
35
this is the force of attraction between identical molecules
cohesion
36
this is the force of attraction between different molecules
adhesion
37
in liquids, the greater the weight means the greater the _______
density
38
takes the volume and shape of the container
gas
39
what is the movement of the molecules that exerts a force over the area
pressure
40
what is the instrument called to measure pressure
barometer
41
what is the unit that measures pressure
The SI unit pressure is Pascal (Pa)
42
what are the other units that measures pressure
atmosphere (atm) and torr im going crazy please help me
43

46
plasma is just ______ gas
ionized gas
47
plasma is _____ly charged
positively
48
plasma has an _______ charge
electric
49
plasma has an electric charge, which means they are affected by
electrical and magnetic fields
