States of Matter Flashcards

To review solid, liquid, gas, plasma, kinetic theory, gas laws and principles.

AB
solidTightly packed molecules, can’t change position, definite shape and volume, has CRYSTALS!
liquidClosely packed molecules, can change position, definite volume, takes shape of the container
gasLoosely packed molecules, takes volume and shape of container, lots of energy
plasmaGas and liquid like, has charged particles. VERY VERY HOT (the sun!)
examples of plasmaIn stars, in fluorescent lights, lightning
Amorphoustype of “solid” has no crystals and gradually flows over time
kinetic theoryAll matter is made up of particles that are in constant motion. The more heat energy they have, the faster they move.
Meltgo from a solid to a liquid, particles are gaining energy
Evaporatego from a liquid to a gas, particles are gaining energy
Solidify/Freezego from a liquid to a solid, particles lose energy
Condensego from a gas to aliquid, particles lose energy
Sublimatego from a solid to a gas, particles gain energy
Boyles Lawpressure and volume, inversely related, bottle lab
Charles Lawtemperature and volume, directly related, balloon in freezer vs over
Amontons Lawtemperature and pressure, directly related, how engines work
Combined Lawpressure times volume divided by temperature
Archimedes Principlebouyant force is equal to mass of fluid displaced, why things float
Pascals Principlepressure transfers unchanged through a liquid, why hydrolics work
Bernoullis Principlefluid speeds up over a curved surface, why birds and airplanes fly
