| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solid | the state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and volume |
| Liquid | the state of matter in which materials have a definite volume but a variable shape |
| Gas | the state of matter in which materials have variable shape and volume |
| Kinetic Energy | the energy an object has due to its motion |
| 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 amount of energy absorbed depends on the substance |
| Exothermic Change | the system releases energy to its surroundings |
| Vaporization | the phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas |
| Heat of Vaporizatio | the amount of energy a subastance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas |
| Evaporation | the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point |
| Vapor Pressure | the pressure caused by the collisions of this vapor and the walls of the container |
| 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 | when a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing to a liquid |
