How do you describe a solid?
Pg. 6:
Date _________
Per _____
Doc # ___
Pgs: 6-13 and 22-27
A solid has a _____________________ ________________________
and a _____________________ _____________________________.
The particles that make up a solid are packed very
______________________ together.
Pg. 7:
Solids that are made up of crystals are called
____________________________________________________.
In __________________________ solids, the particles are not
arranged in a regular pattern.
How do you describe a liquid?
Pg. 9:
A liquid has a ________________ ______________ but no
_________________________________.
The particles in a liquid _________________________________
freely.
A liquid is also called a ___________, meaning a
“substance that flows”.
What are some properties of
liquids?
Pg. 10:
____________________________________ is an inward force, or
pull, among the molecules in a liquid that brings the
molecules on the surface closer together.
_____________________ is a liquid’s resistance to flowing.
Pg. 11:
How do you describe a gas?
A gas has no _________________________ and no
_____________________________________.
If you could see the particles that make up a gas, you
would see them ________________________________________.
Pg. 12:
The __________________ of a gas is the force of its
outward push divided by the area of the walls of the
container.
_____________________________________________________________.
Pg. 13:
The _________________________ the particles are moving,
the _________________ their energy and the ______________
their temperature.
What happens to the particles of
a solid as it melts?
Solid  liquid
Pg. 23:
The change in state from solid to liquid is called
_______________________________.
Melting Point
In crystalline solids, melting occurs at a specific
temperature called the ____________________________.
At a _____________ melting point, its particles vibrate so
fast that they break free from their fixed positions.
Pg. 24:
Liquid  solid
The change of state from a liquid to a solid is called
__________________________.
What happens to the particles of
a liquid as it vaporizes?
Pg. 25:
__________________________occurs when the particles in a
liquid gain enough energy to move independently.
Vaporization that takes place only on the surface of a
Liquid is called ____________________________.
Vaporization that takes place both below and at the
surface of a liquid is called _____________________.
Boiling point
The temperature at which a liquid boils is called its
_____________________________________.
Pg. 26:
Gas  liquid
What happens to the particles of
a solid as it sublimes?
Summary:
______________________________ occurs when particles in a
gas lose enough thermal energy to form a liquid.
Pg. 27:
During _________________________, particles of a solid do
not pass through the liquid state as they form a gas.
