Science Test on the Nature of Matter

Here are the vocab. terms for the Chapter 8 Test.

AB
States of Mattersolid, liquid, gas, and plasma; depend on temperature/ energy of particles
Kinetic Theory of Matter1. All materials have particles 2. All particles are attracted to each other 3. Higher temp. = higher KE of particles, the particles are in constant motion
Crystalsparticles in solid that are arranged in repeating geometric patterns; different solids have different patterns
PlasmaA gaslike mixture of positively and negatively charged particles; very high temperature and particles collide violently and then particles break into smaller, electrically charged particles
Thermal ExpansionAll matter expands when it gets hot and contrcts when it gets cold
EvaporationWhen a liquid changes to a gas at temperatures below boiling point.
CondensationWhen a gas changes to a liquid
Heat of FusionThe amount of energy needed to change from solid to liquid
Heat of VaporationThe amount of energy needed to change a liquid to a gas
Pressurethe amount of force exerted per unit area; P=F/A
PascalThe SI unit of pressure; Pa; M/m^2
Boyle's Lawdecreased volume increased pressure when temperature is constant
Charle's LawIncreased temperature = increased volume when pressure is constant
Buoyant Forcethe upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it
Archimedes's Principlethe buoyant force of an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Pascal's PrinciplePressure applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid
Bernoulli's PrincipleAs the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases
Amorphous SolidsWhen a solid is not made of crystals; wax, glass, plastics
ViscosityThe measure of how well a liquid can flow (stronger attraction)
DiffusionHow quickly one company can spread out (particles move around each othjer faster)
Gay-Lussacs's LawIncreased pressure = Increased temperature when volume stays the same
HydraulicsMachines that push a liquid of a small volume down a lot in order to push a liquid of a large volume up a little with less pressure.
Venturi EffectFluids flow faster when forced to flow through a narrower space, so the pressure of the fluid drops.
