Changes in States of Matter Quiz

Oxygen is a gas commonly found in the Earth's atmosphere.

Condensation is the process where a gas changes into a liquid.

Water boils at 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure.

Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions directly from solid to gas phase.

Solids have definite shapes and volumes, maintaining their structural integrity.

The kinetic energy of particles increases as they transition from a solid to a liquid state.

Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions directly from solid to gas phase without passing through the liquid phase, as seen in dry ice.

Freon, specifically chlorofluorocarbons, are commonly used as coolants in refrigerators.

Compression increases the density of a gas.

Gases have high compressibility, meaning they can be easily squeezed into smaller volumes.

The critical point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which its liquid and gas phases become indistinguishable.

Absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, is -273.15°C.

Gases do not have fixed shapes or volumes, conforming to the shape and volume of their container.

Plasma is a state of matter consisting of highly energized, ionized particles.

Plasma is a state of matter where particles have broken apart into charged ions, characterized by high energy and conductivity.
