10 Questions
Define phase of matter.
A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics.
List the phases (states) of matter.
Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma
Explain the characteristics of a solid.
A solid has a definite volume and shape. Particles within a solid are packed very close together in an ordered arrangement, resulting in a definite shape and volume due to strong forces of attraction between its constituent particles.
Describe the characteristics of a liquid.
Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. They take the shape of the container in which they are placed due to relatively weaker force of attraction among its particles.
What is a phase diagram used for?
A phase diagram is used to show the different phases of matter under varying conditions of temperature and pressure.
Define phase of matter.
A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics.
What are the four phases (states) of matter?
Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma
Explain the characteristics of a solid.
A solid has a definite volume and shape. Particles within a solid are packed very close together in an ordered arrangement due to strong forces of attraction.
Describe the characteristics of a liquid.
Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. They take the shape of the container in which they are placed due to relatively weaker force of attraction among particles.
What are phase changes and how do they occur?
Phase changes are transitions between different phases of matter, such as solid to liquid or gas to liquid. They occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.
