In stars, lightning and neon signs chem-states-of-matter Bose-Einstein condensate A state of matter formed near absolute zero where atoms act as one chem-states-of-matter Particles in a solid Packed close and only vibrate in place chem-states-of-matter Particles in a liquid Close together but able to slide past each other chem-states-of-matter Particles in a gas Far apart and moving fast in all directions chem-states-of-matter Melting Solid turns to liquid chem-states-of-matter Freezing Liquid turns to solid chem-states-of-matter Evaporation Liquid turns to gas at the surface chem-states-of-matter Boiling Liquid turns to gas throughout, with bubbles chem-states-of-matter Condensation Gas turns to liquid chem-states-of-matter Sublimation Solid turns straight into gas chem-states-of-matter Deposition Gas turns straight into solid chem-states-of-matter Melting point of water 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) chem-states-of-matter Boiling point of water 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level chem-states-of-matter Example of sublimation Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into gas chem-states-of-matter Example of deposition Frost forming on a cold window chem-states-of-matter Is steam a gas or liquid droplets? Invisible steam is a gas; the white cloud you see is tiny liquid drops chem-states-of-matter Does heating add or remove energy? It adds energy, making particles move faster chem-states-of-matter What happens to particles when matter cools? They slow down chem-states-of-matter Which state is the easiest to squeeze? Gas chem-states-of-matter Which state is almost impossible to squeeze? Solid and liquid chem-states-of-matter Does a liquid have a definite volume? Yes chem-states-of-matter Does a gas have a definite volume? No chem-states-of-matter Is ice a solid, liquid or gas? Solid chem-states-of-matter Is water vapor a solid, liquid or gas? Gas chem-states-of-matter Is air a solid, liquid or gas? A mixture of gases chem-states-of-matter Is honey a solid or liquid? Liquid chem-states-of-matter Is sand a solid? Yes; each grain is a tiny solid chem-states-of-matter Which is denser, ice or liquid water? Liquid water; ice floats chem-states-of-matter Why does ice float? Water expands as it freezes, so ice is less dense chem-states-of-matter Viscosity How much a liquid resists flowing chem-states-of-matter Surface tension The pull between liquid molecules that makes a skin at the surface chem-states-of-matter Compressibility How much a material can be squeezed into less space chem-states-of-matter Vapor The gas form of a substance that is usually a liquid or solid chem-states-of-matter Freezing point The temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid chem-states-of-matter Latent heat Energy absorbed or released during a change of state without changing temperature chem-states-of-matter Phase diagram A graph showing the state of a substance at different temperatures and pressures chem-states-of-matter Absolute zero The lowest possible temperature, -273.15 degrees Celsius chem-states-of-matter Pressure Force pushing on a surface chem-states-of-matter Kinetic theory of matter All matter is made of tiny particles in constant motion chem-states-of-matter Diffusion Particles spreading from where there are many to where there are few chem-states-of-matter Which state of matter makes up most of the visible universe? Plasma chem-states-of-matter Dry ice is made of what? Frozen carbon dioxide chem-states-of-matter Is a cloud made of gas? It is made of tiny liquid droplets or ice crystals in air chem-states-of-matter Is toothpaste a solid or liquid? It acts like both, a gel-like material chem-states-of-matter
