states of matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a solid? | The state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and volume |
| What us a liquid? | The state of matter in which a material has a definite volume, but not a definite shape. |
| What is a gas? | The state of matter in which a material has neither definite shape, or definite volume. |
| What is kinetic energy? | The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| What is phase change? | The reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. |
| What happens when an endothermic change occurs? | During an endothermic change, the system absorbs energy from its surroundings. |
| What is heat of fusion? | It is the amount of heat required to take a solid to a liquid. |
| What happens during an exothermic change? | During an exothermic change, the system releases energy to its surroundings. |
| What is vaporization? | The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. |
| What is heat of vaporization? | An endothermic process in which a substance must absorb energy in order to change from a liquid top a gas. |
| What is evaporation? | The process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures above the substance's melting point. |
| What is vapor pressure? | The pressure cause by the collisions of this vapor and the walls of the container. |
| What is condensation? | The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. |
| What is the sublimation? | The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing into a liquid first. |
| What is deposition? | When a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing into a liquid. |
