Diagrams of phases intro

Front

What is the solid state of matter?

Back

The solid state of matter is characterized by a fixed shape and volume, where particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

Front

What is the liquid state of matter?

Back

The liquid state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with particles that are close together but can move past one another.

Front

What is the gas state of matter?

Back

The gas state of matter has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.

What is the phase transition from solid to liquid called?

Back

Melting.

Front

What does the line segment A-B represent in a phase diagram?

Back

The line segment A-B represents the solid state of a substance.

Front

What does the line segment B-C represent in a phase diagram?

Back

The line segment B-C represents the phase transition from solid to liquid (melting).

Front

What does the line segment C-D represent in a phase diagram?

Back

The line segment C-D represents the liquid state of a substance.
