dasilva-pnhs-states of matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solid | is the state of matter in which materials have definite shape and a definite volume. |
| liquid | is the state of matter in which material has a definite volume but not a definite shape. |
| gas | is the state of matter in which a material has neither a definite shape nor definite volume. |
| kinetic energy | is the energy an object has due to its motion. |
| phase change | is the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance change from one state of matter to another. |
| endothermic | change, the system absorbs energy from its surroundings. |
| heat of fusion | fusion is another term for melting. |
| exothermic | change, the system releases energy to its surroundings. |
| vaporization | vaporization is an endothermic process. |
| heat of vaporization | the heat of vaporization varies from substance to substance. |
| evaporation | is the process that change a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point. |
| vapor pressue | the vapor pressue of water increases as the temputure increases. |
| condensation | is the phase change in which a substance changes from gas or vapor to a liquid. |
| sublimation | is the phase change in which a substance changes from solid to a gas or vapor change. |
| deposition | this causes frost to form on windows. |
