Question | Answer |
---|---|
amorphous solid | a solid made up of particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern |
boiling | vaporization that occurs at and below the surface of a liquid |
boiling point | the temperature at which a liquid boils |
Boyle's Law | a principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature |
Charles's Law | a principle that describes the relationship between the temperature and volume of a constant pressure |
condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
crystalline solid | a solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern |
directly proportional | a term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose graph is a straight line passing through the point (0,0) |
evaporation | the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas |
fluid | any substance that can flow |
freezing | the change in state from a liquid to solid |
gas | a state of matter with no definite shape or volume |
inversely proportional | a term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose product is constant |
liquid | a state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume |
melting | the change in state from a solid to a liquid |
melting point | the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid; the same as the freezing point, or temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid |
pressure | the force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface |
solid | a state of matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume |
sublimation | the change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state |
surface tension | the result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together; causes the surface to act as if it has a thin skin |
vaporization | the change of state from a liquid to a gas |
viscosity | a liquid's resistance to flowing |
