what makes the three states of matter different?

A

the way their molcules are arranged

2
Q

How does the way the molecules are arranged change between…
solids to liquids liquids to solids
liquids to gases gases to liquids
gases to solids solids to gases

A

more spread apart closer together
more spread apart closer together
closer together more spread apart

Q

What is the value of the boiling point for water?

A

100 degrees

8

A

0 degrees

9
Q

How does diffusion affect solids
liquids
gases

A

does not happen in solids - cannot move
happens in liquids - moves with particles
happens in gases - moves with particles

10
Q

give an everyday example of diffusion

A

stink bomb

smell particles move

11
Q

solid

A

a state of matter thats particles are closely squashed together

12
Q

liquid

A

a state of matter thats particles are closed to each other but free to move past each other

13
Q

gas

A

a state of matter thats particles are free to move in all directions.

14
Q

condensing

A

reducing to another and denser form, as a gas or vapor to a liquid or solid state.

15
Q

evaporating

A

changing from a liquid or solid state into vapor; pass off in vapor.

16
Q

freezing

A

changing from a liquid to a solid state

17
Q

melting

A

changing from a solid to a liquid state

18
Q

condensation

A

The opposite of evaporation or boiling is condensation, i.e. the changing of a gas back into its liquid state.

19
Q

evaporation

A

the changing of a liquid into a gaseous state

20
Q

what are the three states of matter?

A

solids, liquids and gases

21
Q

diffusion

A

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
