Properties of matter

Cards (35)

  • Liquid is a state of matter characterized by a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
  • Solids are hard and do not flow or change their shape easily, while liquids can take on different shapes depending on the container they're in.
  • A solid has a definite shape, while a liquid does not have a definite shape but takes on the shape of its container.
  • Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
  • Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
  • The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into gas.
  • Matter exists in three main states: solid, liquid and gas.
  • Elasticity is a physical property of matter that refers to its ability to regain its original shape after being deformed.
  • Viscosity is a physical property of matter that describes its resistance to flow.
  • Gas is the most expansive form of matter, with particles moving rapidly and freely in all directions.
  • Gases have neither definite shape nor volume, expanding to fill any space available.
  • In solids, particles vibrate around fixed positions with little movement between them.
  • The three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) differ based on particle arrangement and energy level.
  • Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
  • In liquids, particles move freely past one another.
  • In solids, particles vibrate around fixed positions.
  • Gas is a state of matter that fills any space it occupies and has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
  • Gases have no fixed shape or volume and fill any space available to them.
  • Different substances can be separated by using different methods such as filtration, distillation, crystallization, centrifugation, chromatography, and electrolysis.
  • Density is a measure of how closely packed particles are within a substance.
  • Filtration involves passing a mixture through a filter paper or cloth to separate solids from liquids.
  • Thermal expansion is a physical property of matter whereby an object expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
  • Conductivity is a physical property of matter that determines whether it conducts heat or electricity well.
  • Solid has tightly packed molecules arranged in a regular pattern, resulting in a definite shape and volume.
  • Liquid has less space between molecules than solids but more than gases, allowing it to take on the shape of its container while maintaining a constant volume.
  • Temperature is measured using a thermometer, which can be calibrated to different scales such as Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F) or Kelvin (K).
  • Solids are characterized by their fixed shapes and volumes, with particles held tightly together through strong intermolecular forces.
  • Liquids exhibit fluid properties such as viscosity and surface tension, but maintain a constant volume while changing shape to fit the container they occupy.
  • Solids maintain their shape and size unless acted upon by an external force.
  • The density of liquids increases as temperature decreases.
  • Liquid molecules are free to move past one another but remain close together due to intermolecular forces.
  • Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is, determined by the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles.
  • Solids are characterized by their rigid structure and lack of fluidity or compressibility.
  • Density is defined as mass per unit volume and can be calculated using the formula D = m/V.
  • Particles in gases are far apart from one another and move randomly at high speeds.
