| Liquid | The state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not a definite shape. |
| Gas | The state of matter in which a material has neither has a definite shape nor a definite volume. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| phase change | a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition |
| endothermic | noting or pertaining to a chemical change that is accompanied by an absorption of heat |
| heat of fusion | he heat absorbed by a unit mass of a given solid at its melting point that completely converts the solid to a liquid at the same temperature: equal to the heat of solidification. |
| exothermic | noting or pertaining to a chemical change that is accompanied by a liberation of heat |
| vaporization | the rapid change of water into steam, especially in a boiler. |
| heat of vaporization | he heat absorbed per unit mass of a given material at its boiling point that completely converts the material to a gas at the same temperature: equal to the heat of condensation. |
| evaporation | he quantity of matter evaporated or passed off in vapor. |
| vapor pressure | the pressure exerted by the molecules of a vapor, especially that part of the total pressure exerted by vapor in a mixture of gases, as by water vapor in air. |
| condensation | the result of being made more compact or dense. |
| sublimation | the act, fact, or process of subliming |
| deposition | Gas or vapor changes directly into a solid. |
