States Of Mater Flashcards
(14 cards)
Matter
Anything that occupies space and mass
Mass
Is the amount of matter in an object
Solids
Have a definite shape,definite volume,can’t be compressed,can’t flow
Properteis of a Liquids
Have no definite shape,have definite volume,can’t be compressed,can flow
Gases
Have no definite shape,no definite volume,can be compressed,can flow
Energy
In order for a substance to change state (from a solid to a liquid,or liquid to gas) it needs heat energy
Energy
As a substance changes state,it uses latent heat. There is no change to temperature,but the state of material changes.
The melting point
The melting point is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid
The boiling point
The melting point is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid)
Condensation
Condensation is the changing of a gas to a liquid.
Sublimation
some substances do not change from a solid to a liquid when they melt,
they change straight from a solid to a gas. E.g. solid carbon dioxide is known as dry ice and turns into a gas when heated.

Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration e.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room, and it spreads to the rest of the
Plasma
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, like gas, but can conduct electricity.
Plasma
It is very similar to a gas, in fact plasma is a gas that can carry an electric charge. Plasma particles spread out and move around randomly, but unlike gas, plasma has the ability to conduct
