States of Matter

2. The ability to do work or cause change. It can exist in different forms, like heat, light, or motion.
4. The process where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
5. The amount of matter in an object. It is usually measured in grams or kilograms.
7. The smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element. Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
12. The process where a liquid changes into a gas, usually when heated.
13. To lower the temperature of a substance, often causing it to change from a gas to a liquid or a liquid to a solid.
14. A state of matter where the substance has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. The particles are close but can move around each other.
16. of Matter The physical form in which a substance exists, such as solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
17. A measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It tells us how tightly packed the particles are in a substance.

1. The process where a gas changes directly into a solid without becoming a liquid first.
3. The process where a liquid changes into a solid, usually when cooled.
6. A state of matter similar to gas, but the particles are charged and can conduct electricity. It's found in stars, including the sun.
8. The process where a solid changes into a liquid, usually when heated.
9. A state of matter where the substance has no definite shape or volume. The particles are far apart and move freely.
10. The process where a gas changes into a liquid, often when cooled.
11. A state of matter where the substance has a definite shape and volume. The particles are packed closely together and don't move much.
15. A form of energy that causes substances to become warmer. It can change the state of matter.
