TermDefinition
Adhesiontwo different particeles together. two different substances together
CohesionA force holding same type of particles together. (ex) water molecules-water molecules
ExpansionMolecules heat up and move farther apart. Which makes it expand.
ContractionMolecules slow down and move closer together which makes it move in and get smaller
EnergyTemp of molecules is the amount of energy that they have
HeatTransfer of thermal energy between substances that are at different temperatures
ThermometerTo test the heat of temp. or kinetic energy
VariableTo effect eh expirement of the lab. can be controlled, others not.
hypothesisan educated guess of the lab
observationsusing your 5 sense. to collect data
conculsionsexplanations from your observations. why something happend
diffusionmovement or mixing of one molecule to another. (EX) food coolring
air pressurepressure casued by air molecules, greater temperatues
temperatureparticles in a substance . measure of amount of Kinetic energy
inferencesto explain or interpret
moleculemade upof 2 or more atoms. one or more jpined together
mattertiny particels, atoms and molecules
implodeto burst inward
condensationchange in stae of gas to liquid
evaporationliquid to gas at the surface of liquid. have enough energy to break from cohesion
sublimationinsantaneous change of matter: solid-gas
meltingtemp change from solid to lquid
boilinga specific temperature that then changes into a gas
freezingmolecules slow down and they freeze. (EX) water to liquid, the withdrawal of heat to change something from a liquid to a solid
Kinetic energymatter made up of tiny particles and those particles arein constant
convection currenttransfer heat in a liquid or a ga. (ex) heat rises cooled sinks down
solidmolecules slow down, tightly packed, hit harder, cause more friction, and vibrate in place, no definiate shpae or volume
liquidNo definiate shape, takes the shape of object, molecules slide by eachother
GasMolecules move vioently, no shape or volume
Adhesiontwo different particeles together. two different substances together
