Module 1: Classification and State of Matter - Lesson 1 Quiz

A state of matter with a fixed shape and volume, meaning it can't be easily compressed. Think of a solid block of ice.

A state of matter with a fixed volume but no fixed shape, which means it takes the shape of its container. Imagine water in a glass.

A state of matter with neither a fixed shape nor volume. Easily compressed into a smaller space. Imagine air in a balloon.

The energy of motion - a moving object possesses this type of energy.

The average kinetic energy of particles in a material, measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

The temperature scale used by scientists worldwide, where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

The absolute temperature scale, where 0 K is the lowest possible temperature, where all particle motion stops.

The energy stored in the bonds between particles or objects, due to their position or arrangement.

The state of matter with high potential energy because particles are spread far apart and have weak intermolecular forces.
