Phases of Matter
Across
- 2. 2words: a compound made of bonded carbon and oxygen atoms
- 4. a phase of matter that has definite volume and definite shape. The particles of a solid are tightly bonded and cannot move around
- 5. a particle made of two or more atoms that are held together with strong (covalent) bonds
- 13. the change of phase from gas to liquid (clouds and drops on the side of a cold glass)
- 14. 2words: the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid; different for each substance
- 15. the smallest particle of an element (all matter is made of this)
- 18. phase of matter that has definite volume but no definite shape. Loosely bonded particles can flow over and around one another
- 19. the smallest piece of a substance that is still that substance (another word for atom/molecule)
- 21. a phase of matter that has no definite shape or volume. Particles fly independently through space
- 22. the ratio of mass and volume in a sample of matter (how much stuff is packed into a space)
- 24. a push or a pull
- 25. 2words: the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid; different for each substance
- 26. to change phase from liquid to solid
Down
- 1. energy transfer that increases the kinetic energy of a substance’s particles
- 3. the reduction of volume of a sample of matter as a result of cooling
- 6. energy transfer that decreases the kinetic energy of a substance’s particles
- 7. the physical condition of a sample of matter based on the kinetic energy of its particles; common phrases include solid, liquid, and gas. Also called state.
- 8. 2words: energy of motion
- 9. the change of phase from liquid to gas (a puddle drying up)
- 10. an attractive force between atoms (holds them together)
- 11. existing in the gas phase
- 12. 2words: the solid phase of carbon dioxide
- 16. an increase of volume (to get bigger)
- 17. to move rapidly back and forth
- 20. to change phase from solid to liquid
- 23. a defined quantity of space (the size of an object)
