| is the state state of matter in which a material has a definite volume, but not a definite shape. | Liquid |
| state of matter in which a material has neither a definite shape nor definite volume. | Gas |
| the energy of an object due to its motion. | Kinetic Energy |
| is the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. | Phase Change |
| the system absorbs energy from its surroundings | Endothermic |
| the amount of energy absorbed | heat of fusion |
| the stystem releases energy to its surroundings | exothermic |
| The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas | vaporization |
| the amount of energy absorbed in order to change from a liguid to a gas | heat of vaporization |
| is the process that changes a substance from a liguid to a gas at temperature below the substances boiling point | evaporation |
| The pressure caused by the collions of this vapor and the walls of its container | vapor pressure |
| is the phase change in which the substance changes from a gas or vapor into a liquid | condensation |
| is the pahse change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without turining to a liquid first | sublimation |
| When a gas or a vapor changes directly ino a solid without chaning to a liquid first | depostion |
