frosting | a gas turning directly to a solid form |
diffusion | when two different molecules mix and spread from where there is more of one kind to where there is less of one kind |
surface tension | on the surface of the water the molecules adhere to each other |
molecules | smallest physical unit of an element or compound |
pressure | the exertion of force upon one thing from another thing |
freezing | water changing from liquid to a solid |
melting | water changing from solid to a liquid |
