Physical Science Ch. 3a Quiz Study Guide
(for Ch. 3, sections 1 & 2)
 Know the 3 states of matter that we covered (you’ll
be given a diagram & will have to answer some
questions about the different states of matter)
 Be able to match the correct definitions with the
following terms: solid, liquid, gas, viscosity,
amorphous solid, crystalline solid, fluid, surface
tension
 Know the changes of state in relation to thermal
energy and particle movement (example: solid to
liquid = melting; as thermal energy increases the
particle movement increases and allows the
particles to break away from their set positions)
 Know the following vocabulary (fill-in-the-blank):
melting point, boiling point, evaporation, melting,
freezing, boiling, sublimation, vaporization,
condensation
