19

Gases

________ do not have a definite volume or shape.

New cards
20

Thermal energy

________ is the total energy of a materials particles, including kinetic- vibrations and movement within and between the particles- and potential- resulting from forces that act within or between particles.

New cards
21

Diffusion

________: the spreading of particles throughout a given volume until they are uniformly distributed.

New cards
22

Bernoullis principle

According to ________, as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases.

New cards
23

Charless law

According to ________, the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, as long as pressure does not change.

New cards
24

Plasma

________: matter consisting of positively and negatively charged particles.
