State of Matter
Across
- 2. High-energy state of matter with charged particles (like lightning or the sun).
- 7. Phase change from a solid to a liquid; heat is added.
- 9. Phase change from a gas to a liquid; heat is removed.
- 12. Change A change that produces one or more new substances (e.g., rusting metal).
- 15. State of matter with definite volume but no definite shape; particles slide past each other.
- 17. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- 18. Substance Matter that has a fixed composition and distinct properties (elements or compounds).
- 19. Type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid below its boiling point.
- 20. Mixture A mixture that looks the same throughout; evenly mixed (like air).
- 21. Change A physical change where matter changes state but not chemical composition.
Down
- 1. Change A change that affects form or appearance but does not create a new substance (e.g., melting ice).
- 3. Phase change from a solid directly to a gas; heat is added.
- 4. State of matter with definite shape and definite volume; particles vibrate in place.
- 5. Phase change from a gas directly to a solid; heat is removed.
- 6. Phase change from a liquid to a gas; heat is added.
- 8. State of matter with no definite shape or volume; particles move freely and rapidly.
- 9. Property A characteristic that describes a substance’s ability to form new substances (e.g., flammability, reactivity).
- 10. Mixture A mixture where the parts are visibly different (like salad or trail mix).
- 11. Two or more substances physically combined but not chemically bonded.
- 13. A pure substance made of only one kind of atom.
- 14. A substance made of two or more elements that are chemically combined.
- 16. Phase change from a liquid to a solid; heat is removed.
- 21. Property A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s identity (e.g., color, density, melting point).
