| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solid | The state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and a definite volume. |
| Liquid | The state of matter in which materials have a definite volume but not a definite shape. |
| Gas | The state of matter in which materials have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| Pressure | The result of a force distributed over an area. |
| Absolute Zero | A tempurature of 0K. |
| Charles's Law | The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its tempurature in kelvins if the pressure and the number of particles of the gas are constant. |
| Boyle's Law | The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the tempurature and the number of particles are constant. |
| Phase Change | The reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. |
| Endothermic Change | The system absorbs energy from its surroundings. |
| Heat of Fusion | The point when something melts. |
| Exothermic Change | The system releases energy to its surroundings. |
| Vaporization | The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. |
| Heat of Vaporization | The point when something vaporizes. |
| Evaporization | The Proccess that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at tempuratures below the substance's boiling point. |
| Condensation | The phase change in 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 substance changes from a gas or vapor to a solid without changing to a liquid first. |
