New cards

amorphous

randomly arranged

2
New cards

crystalline

a specific repeating order

3
New cards

density

the amount of matter inside a given volume

4
New cards

mass

the amount of particles in an object

5
New cards

plasma

a state of matter made of positively and negatively charged particles that contain a high amount of energy

6
New cards

volume

the amount of space an object takes up

7
New cards

What are amorphous solids?

Solids that have particles randomly arranged.

8
New cards

What are crystalline solids?

Solids that have particles in a specific repeating order.

9

<p>What does this picture describe? </p>

What does this picture describe?

Gas particles

14
New cards

What is a melting point? What is an example of a melting point?

The temperature that a solid turns into a liquid. When ice melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid at 0°C. Once the solid reaches its melting point, the temperature stops increasing, the particles move farther apart, and the potential energy increases.

New cards

What is evaporation? What is an example of evaporation?

The process where a liquid changes into a gas from the surface of the water. Boiling water is an example of this change.

16
New cards

What is sublimation? What is an example of sublimation?

The process of turning solid to gas without turning it into liquid particles. This occurs in dry ice when thermal energy is added to the carbon dioxide in dry ice, then condenses and creates water vapor that looks like a thick fog.

<p>What is a physical change?</p>

What is a physical change?

A physical change is a transformation that affects one or more physical properties of a substance without altering its chemical composition. Examples include changes in state, such as melting, freezing, and dissolving. This process produces the same substance.

18
New cards
<p>What is a chemical change?</p>

What is a chemical change?

A process where substances combine or break apart to form new substances. This often involves a change in energy and can include reactions like rusting or combustion. This process produces a new substance.
