States of Matter
Across
- 2. a factor that allows matter to change states; revolves around forcing atoms towards or away from each other
- 5. the phase change that transforms a solid into a gas; think of dry ice
- 8. a factor that allows matter to change states; revolves around giving or taking kinetic energy away from atoms
- 11. this is how many MAJOR states of matter are naturally found in the observable universe
- 12. Theory a central idea of chemistry that states particles of matter are in constant motion
- 14. anything that has mass and takes up space
- 15. a substance with an indefinite shape but definite volume; incompressible;
- 16. the phase change that transforms a gas into a solid; think of snow
- 18. a substance with a definite shape and volume; incompressible
- 20. the building blocks of matter; the way these behave determine the state of matter that a substance expresses
Down
- 1. the measure of whether or not a substance decreases its volume when pressure is applied
- 3. the phase change that transforms a liquid into a gas
- 4. an ionized substance formed from superheated gases
- 6. the phase change that transforms a liquid into a solid
- 7. a gas that originates from a liquid or solid
- 9. the phase change that transforms a gas into a liquid
- 10. the phase change that transforms a solid into a liquid
- 13. a substance with no distinct shape; easily directed by outside forces
- 17. the amount of space that a substance occupies
- 19. a substance with an indefinite shape and volume; compressible
