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