| Heat of Vaporization | The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas. |
| Solids | The state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and definite volume. |
| Liquids | The state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not a definite shape(it has a variable shape). |
| Gases | The state of matter in which the materials have a variable shape and a variable volume. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to it's motion. |
| Phase Change | A reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. |
| Endothermic | A description of a change in which a system absorbs energy from it's surroundings. |
| Heat of Fusion | The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid. |
| Exothermica | A description of a change in which a system releases energy to it's surroundings. |
| Evaporation | The process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point. |
| Vaporization | The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. |
| Deposition | The phase change in which a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing into a liquid. |
| Sublimation | The phase change in which a substance in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first. |
| Condensation | The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. |
| Vapor Pressure | The pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with the walls of a container. |
