1.

The observable properties of matter can be explained using a scientific model referred to as the
particle nature of matter model.

2. Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.

3. Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide over one another.

4. Particles of gases are very far apart and move freely. Well separated with no regular
arrangement.Vibrate and move freely at high speeds

5. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond

6. Surface tension allow needles and paper clips to float on water if placed carefully on the surface

7. Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or
even in opposition to, external forces like gravity

8. Vaporization Is the transformation of a liquid into a gas.

9. Dalton envisioned atoms as solid, hard spheres, like billiard balls, so he used

wooden balls to model them.“Billiard Ball” model.

10. English scientist J.J. Thomson provided the first hint that an atom is made of even smaller
particles.

11. English physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the Nucleus and the positive charged
particles(Protons)

12. The Danish scientist Niels Bohr discovered that electrons exist in several distinct layers or levels.

13. Atom: the smallest piece of matter that still retains the properties of that element.

14. Neutrons are particles that do not have an electrical charge.

15. Protons are particles with an electrical charge of 1+

16. Melting Is the temperature at which solid turns into liquid .

17. Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid
phase.

18. Freezing Point is the temperature wherein a liquid solidifies. Liquid turns into solid.

19. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without
passing through the liquid state

20. Crystalline solids have a well-defined shape. Their particles-atoms, molecules, or ions occur in a
highly ordered arrangement.

TRUE OR FALSE

1. Two types of vaporization are freezing and boiling . FALSE

2. Evaporization takes place on the surface of the liquid at temperature below the boiling
temperature. TRUE
3. There are two types of solid structures these are crystalline solids and amorphous solids. TRUE
4. A change in the physical state of matter involves the addition of heat only. FALSE
5. Democritus suggested world was made of two things – empty space and “atoms” Atoms was
derived from the Greek word “Atomos” means invisible – FALSE
6. Discovered the negatively charged and called it “cropuscles,” today known as electrons. FALSE
7. The two regions of an atom are the nucleus and the electron cloud-TRUE
8. Adding heat to matter makes the particles move faster-TRUE
9. Particles of matter are in motion except for solid because it has no space to move- FALSE
