Physics - Using Particles to Explain Matter
Cards in this deck (22)
- 1Anything that takes up space and mass is called?matter
- 2What is all matter made up from?particles
- 3The diagram shows how matter is formed in the three most common states. What are the three states above?
- 4Name three of the following: solids liquids gasesmetal
water
oxygen
and others - 5Does the sentence below describe particles in solids, liquids or gases? The particles vibrate in their fixed positionsSolids
- 6Does the sentence below describe particles in solids, liquids or gases? The particles move randomly from their positions, but are always in contact with other particles.Liquids
- 7Does the sentence below describe particles in solids, liquids or gases? The particles move about randomly and very fast, widely separated from but colliding with other particles.Gases
- 8What affects how fast particles move?temperature
- 9What is the name of the very strong forces that holds particles in their position.attractive intermolecular forces
- 10What is the most common state of matter in the Universeplasma
- 11A measure of how much matter there is in a particular volume is called?density
- 12What is the strongest, hardest material in the world?Diamond
(Drills that cut through rock are
tipped with diamond) - 13What are solids that can be hammered into shape without being broken called?malleable
- 14Solids such as plastics will snap if hit, what is that called?brittle
- 15The layers of particles in metals are able to slide past each other, so they can be pulled into extremely thin wires. What is this calledductile
- 16What is 'Strength'?The ability of a solid to withstand a force.
Metals are generally very strong. - 17What is 'Hardness'?A measure of how easy it
is to scratch a solid
It is NOT the same as 'strength' - 18What does 'Soluble' mean?Some solids are soluble
e.g. salt,
it dissolves in water - 19Metals will readily ___________ heat and electricity.conduct
- 20Name two 'non-metal' solids.plastic and rubber
- 21what is a mixture of metals calledan alloy
- 22Name three alloysbrass, bronze and chrome
