Physical Properties of Matter
Across
- 5. A state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape, taking the form of its container
- 6. A state of matter with no fixed shape or volume, meaning it will expand to fill any container it is in
- 8. One of the distinct forms in which matter can exist.
- 11. One of the very small parts of matter (molecule, atom, or electron)
- 12. The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically (nonliving)
- 13. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- 14. The process where water vapor(gas) becomes liquid
- 15. To change from a solid to a liquid state usually through heat
- 16. A physical process by which a substance transforms into one of the three states of matter
Down
- 1. To turn from a liquid or solid into vapor (gas)
- 2. The smallest particle of a substance having all the characteristics of the substance
- 3. The energy of an object in motion
- 4. When a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas (skips the liquid state)
- 7. The kinetic energy of moving particles of matter, measured by their temperature
- 9. To harden into or be hardened into a solid (as ice) by loss of heat
- 10. A state of matter in which atoms are closely packed and cannot move past each other.
