Particle theory
Across
- 3. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- 4. A group of atoms bonded together, forming the smallest unit of a compound.
- 5. A substance that can flow, such as a liquid or gas.
- 7. The smallest unit of an element that retains its properties.
- 11. The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas throughout the substance. (7,5)
- 14. The movement of particles in a solid due to kinetic energy.
- 17. The process where a liquid changes into a gas at the surface.
- 18. The energy of motion that particles have. (7,6)
- 19. A state of matter with a fixed shape and volume.
- 20. Describes the forces that pull particles together, stronger in solids and weaker in gases.
Down
- 1. A tiny piece of matter, such as an atom or molecule.
- 2. A property of gases that allows them to be squeezed into a smaller space.
- 4. The temperature at which a particular solid becomes a liquid. (7,5)
- 6. The type of motion that describes random movement of particles in a fluid.
- 8. A state of matter with a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
- 9. A property of solids that remains unchanged.
- 10. The process where particles spread out from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
- 12. A state of matter where particles move freely and spread out to fill their container.
- 13. Describes the volume of a solid or a liquid.
- 15. The shape of a liquid depends on this
- 16. Describes the position of particles in a solid.
