| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| solid | is the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume and a definite shape |
| liquid | is the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not shape. |
| gas | is the state of matter in which a material has neither a definite shape or volume |
| kinetic energy | the energy the object has due to its motion |
| pressure | is the result of a force distributed over an area |
| absolute zero | A temperature of 0K |
| Charle's law | States the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins if the pressure and particles of the gas are constant |
| Boyle's Law | States the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and number of particles is constant. |
| phase change | a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition |
| endothermic | of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with the absorption of heat Compare |
| heat of fusion | the energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid |
| exothermic | a description of a change in which energy from its surroundings |
| vaporization | The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas. |
| heat of vaporization | The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a solid. |
| evaporation | The process that chances a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substances boiling point. |
| vapor pressure | The pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with walls of a container. |
| condensation | The phase change inn which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. |
| sublimation | The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first. |
| deposition | The phase change in which a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing into a liquid. |
