States Of Matter

Front 1

states of matter

Back 1

The physical forms in which a substance can exist.

Front 2

solid

Back 2

The state in which matter has a definite shape and volume.

Front 3

liquid

Back 3

The state in which matter takes the shape of its container and has a definite volume.

Front 4

gas

Back 4

The state in which matter changes in both shape and volume.

Front 5

pressure

Back 5

The amount of force exerted on a given area.

Front 6

Boyle's law

Back 6

This law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas increases as its pressure decreases.

Front 7

Charles's law

Back 7

This law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as its temperature increases.

Front 8

plasma

Back 8

This is the state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume and whose particles have broken apart.

Front 9

change of state

Back 9

This is the conversion of a substance from one physical form to another.

Front 10

melting

Back 10

This is the change of state from a solid to a liquid.

Front 11

melting point

Back 11

This is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.

Front 12

endothermic

Back 12

energy is absorbed

Front 13

freezing

Back 13

The change of state from a liquid to a solid.

Front 14

freezing point

Back 14

The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.

Front 15

exothermic

Back 15

energy is removed or released

Front 16

vaporization

Back 16

The change of state from a liquid to a gas.

Front 17

boiling

Back 17

This is vaporization that occurs throughout a liquid.

Front 18

evaporation

Back 18

This is vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below its boiling point.

Front 19

condensation

Back 19

This is the change of state from a gas to a liquid.

Front 20

condensation point

Back 20

The temperature at which a gas becomes a liquid.
