States of Matter - answer The physical forms matter can take. There are 5!
Changes of State - answer The change of matter from one state or phase to another.
There are 6!
Melting - answer Energy is added to change a solid into a liquid
Freezing - answer Energy is removed to change a liquid into a solid
Vaporization - answer Energy is added to change a liquid into a gas
Evaporation - answer Vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid and can occur
at any temperature.
Boiling - answer Vaporization that occurs throughout a liquid and occurs at high
temperatures. The pressure in the liquid must match the pressure above the liquid.
Condensation - answer Energy is removed to change a gas into a liquid.
Sublimation - answer Energy is added to change a solid directly into a gas.
Desublimation/Deposition - answer Energy is removed to change a gas directly into a
solid. (example: frost)
Solid - answer Has a definite shape and volume and the particles very little kinetic
energy but vibrate in place.
Liquid - answer Has a definite volume but no definite shape. The particles have a
medium amount of kinetic energy and can slide past one another.
Gas - answer Has NO definite shape or volume. The particles have a lot of kinetic
energy and move anywhere.
Plasma - answer Has no definite shape or volume and has the most amount of kinetic
energy. It is found in stars, neon lights and lightning.
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) - answer The newest state of matter that was created
in a lab. Rubidium was cooled within a few degrees of absolute zero and a super atom
was created.
Kinetic Theory of Matter - answer Matter is made of small particles, these are always in
random motion, they occupy space, and theory arrangement determines their state.
Expand - answer To spread out, stretch
Contract - answer To become smaller, narrower
