ANSWERS|ACE YOUR SCORES
Physical Science - CORRECT-ANSWER-Branches of natural sciences that
study the nature and properties of energy and motion
Matter - CORRECT-ANSWER--Anything that has mass and occupies
space
-3 States: Solid, liquid, gas
Solid - CORRECT-ANSWER--Ability to retain shape
-Relatively incompressible
, Page |2
-Melt when heated and vaporize only slightly
-Any substance can become a solid if cooled sufficiently
Liquid - CORRECT-ANSWER--Take on the shape of their containers
-Cannot be compressed
-Volume is constant unless there is evaporation
-Liquids crystalize when cooled enough
-Between solid and gas particle-wise
Gas - CORRECT-ANSWER--Expand to fill any available space
-Compresible fluid
-Volume determined by pressure and temperature of the environment
