States of Matter

How do particles behave in a liquid?

• They are far apart and move freely.

• They are close together but can slide past one another.

• They are tightly packed and do not move.

• They are in a fixed position and cannot move.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when heated?

• They lose energy and move slower.

• They gain energy and can move faster, potentially changing to a gas.

• They remain unchanged regardless of temperature.

• They become solid and stop moving.

What is the process of a liquid turning into a gas called?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Precipitation

What is a liquid?

• A state of matter that has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container.

• A state of matter that has a fixed shape and volume.

• A state of matter that can be compressed easily.

• A state of matter that has no definite volume or shape.

• Precipitation

What is the process of a liquid turning into a solid called?

How do particles behave in a gas?

• They are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

• They are far apart and move freely and quickly.

• They are arranged in a fixed structure and do not move.

• They are close together and slide past each other.

What happens to the particles in a solid when heated?

• They lose energy and become more rigid.

• They gain energy and may begin to vibrate more, potentially changing to a liquid.

• They remain unchanged regardless of temperature.

• They break apart and disperse into the air.

How do particles behave in a solid?

• They move freely in all directions.

• They vibrate in place but do not move around freely.

• They are completely still and do not vibrate.

• They flow like a liquid.

What is plasma?

• A state of matter similar to gas but with charged particles, found in stars and lightning.

• A solid state of matter with tightly packed particles.

• A liquid state of matter that flows freely and takes the shape of its container.

• A form of energy that can be converted into matter.
