Term
Liquid
Definition
No definite shape. Yes definite volume. Particles are free to move throughout the container but remain in close contact with one another
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
When the temperature is constant, the volume of a gas will increase as the pressure decreases. If the pressure of a gas increases its volume decreases.
Term
Chemical change
Definition
Example; a cake baking. Creates a different substance with different properties.
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition
Energy that comes from the chemical bonds within matter.
Term
Freezing
Definition
The change of state from a liquid to a solid, is the reverse of melting.
Term
Solid
Definition
A state of matter that has definite volume and definite shape. Particles are arranged in either crystalline or an amorphous form.
Term
Viscosity
Definition
The resistance of a liquid to flowing.
Term
Gas
Definition
A state of matter where particles spread apart and fill all of the space available to them. Undergoes changes in volume most easily.
Term
Charles' Law
Definition
When the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure, its volume increases
Term
Physical change
Definition
A change that alters the form of a substance without changing it into another substance.
Term
The Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition
In chemical reactions, the total amount of energy stays the same.
Term
Vaporization
Definition
A liquid becomes a gas.
Term
Condensation
Definition
A gas changes into a liquid.
Term
Chemical Reaction
Definition
Produces new substances.
Term
Crystalline solids
Definition
Particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern in a solid.
Term
Sublimation
Definition
Changes of a solid DIRECTLY into a gas.
Term
Motions of particles differ in gasses, liquids, and solids
Definition
Gas particles=spread far apart and move in all directions at high speeds, filling all space available to them. Liquid particles=packed closely together but can move freely around each other and liquids take on the shapes of their containers. Solid particles are packed tightly together, they can vibrate, but not move from their fixed positions.
Term
Gas
Definition
Has no definite shape and no definite volume
Term
The greater the speed of gas particles
Definition
The greater the pressure
Term
When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air
Definition
The volume of the balloon decreases
Term
