solid has a

A

definate shape

23
Q

what is happening when a shape changes

A

the molecules are either spreading or coming together

24
Q

A

0 degrees celsius

25
how would you react if you were in willow grove and you discovered your water was contaminated
i would try to get people aware of the situation and tell them why it is dangerous.
26
what are some types of water pollution
biological types would be a living or once living organism that enters that water. This could vary from human waste to mold or fungi (e. coli, cryptosperidium). Chemical would be something like gas or exhaust from a car or fertilizer from the your lawn.
27
why do phases change
a change in potential energy
28
what is an aquifer
water that is stored underground with a bedrock
29
what is a phase of matter
solid, liquid, gas
30
liquid to solid
freezing
31
solid to liquid
melting
32
a+bc------->ac+b
single replacement
33
zinc+copper chloride------->copper+zinc chloride
single replacement
34
pq+rs------->ps+rq
double replacement
35
watershed
groundwater
36
solid
definite shape, molecules are touching in a fixed position
37
liquid
no definite shape but molecules are still touching
38
gas
no definite shape or volume molecules are separate. constant motion
39
if the tempature has gone from -4 to 0
kinetic
40
if a substance is melting
increase in potential
41
if a substance is freezing
decrease in potential
42
what are some types of groundwater
aquifer, watershed, well
43
what are some types of surface water
ponds, oceans, rivers, etc.
