Science

bc why not

Matter

This is anything that takes up space and has volume and mass, comprising atoms and molecules.

Gas

has neither a fixed volume or shape

Particles always spread out move freely and fill its container

the particles are very fast

Liquid

A state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with particles that are close together but can flow past one another.

Solid

A state of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together

Element

A substance that cannot be broken down anymore by chemical means

Compound

A substance formed when two or more elements chemically bond together, resulting in a material with different properties from the individual elements.

Atom

The basic unit of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, that retains the properties of an element.

molecules

A group of two or more atoms bonded together

Sublimation

The process by which a solid transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase, commonly observed in substances like dry ice.

Condensation

warm gas cools down and loses heat energy, gas turns into liquid

Evaperation

when a liquid becomes a gas (Don’t mind my spelling)

Plasma

Is made of ions and doesn’t have a fixed shape

Only exists at a very high temperature.

The state of matter changes when?…..

When energy is added.

Higher temp =???

Faster speeds

Two types of solids are (That she wants us to know)

Crystalic and Amorphtous

Deposition

When a gas at room temp becomes a solid
