States of Matter

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

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
