Two ex. of Solids are..
Definition
Crystalline st. and Amorphous st.
Term
Def. a Crystalline st.//
Give examples
Definition
Particles are arranged in an orderly manner and have repeating patterns that creat crystals
////ex. Salt, Sugar, and ice
Term
Def. an Amorphous st.//
Give examples
Definition
Particles are not arranged in a regular pattern and solids are more flexible// ex. Rubber, plastic, and wax
Term
Wht is surface tension?
Definition
A force of the attraction between the molecules on the surface of a liquid
Term
Wht is viscosity?
Definition
A liquid's resistance to flow
Term
Wht is cohesion?
Definition
The sticking together of particles of the same substance
Term

Force/Area
Term
Out ward pressure on a container is cased by....
Definition
Collisons of the particles within the container
Term
Paricles closer together do wht?
Definition
Collide more and increase pressure
Term
Gas Paricles.... or spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration until the pressure is equal.
Definition
Diffuses
Term
Boyle's Law states
Definition
The amount of pressure increases or decreases the volume of the object
Term
Def. of Temp.
Definition
The measure of the average energy of the paticles of a substance or speed of the particles
Term
The faster the particles are moving
Definition
the greater their energy and the higher the temp.
