STATES OF MATTER

Question 1

What are the three states of matter?

Answer 1

Gas, Liquids, Solids

Question 2

Name three propeties of a liquid

Answer 2

1. Liquids have a definite mass and the volume doesn’t change
   2.Particles are close together with space between some of the particles
   3.Liquids are hard to compress

Question 3

Name three propeties of a gas

Answer 3

1.Gas has no definite mass or volume
2. Particles in a gas are far apart
3. Particles move freely in all directions

Question 4

Name three propities of a solid

Answer 4

1.Particles form a lattice
2. Paricles virbrate
3. Particles are closely packed

Question 5

Define a Gas

Answer 5

A substance or a matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill a whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid)

Question 6

Define Liquids

Answer 6

A substance that flows freely but is constsant of volume, having a consistency that is like water or oil

Question 7

Define Solids

Answer 7

A solid is a state of matter that retains its shape and density when not confined

Question 8

What is a Crystalline solid

Answer 8

In a crystalline solid, particles are in a highly ordered, repeating pattern ex. a diamond

Question 9

What is a Amorphous solid

Answer 9

In an amorphous solid, Particles are arranged more randomly without a regular pattern
eg. rubber

Question 10

What is viscosity

Answer 10

A fluid’s resistance to flow. If a liquid flows easily it has low viscosity, if a liquid flows more slowly and is thick, it has high viscosity
