| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kinetic theory | an explanation of how particles in matter behave |
| Melting Point | the temperature at which a solid begins to liquify |
| Heat of fusion | energy required to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at its melting point |
| boiling point | a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure of the the vapor in liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid equal to the external pressure is a force pushing down upon a liquid |
| heat of vaporization | amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas |
| diffusion | the spreading of parical throughout a given volume until they are uniformly distributed |
| plasma | matter consisting of positively and negatively charged particles |
| thermal expansion | an increase in the size of a substance when the temperature in increased |
| buoyancy | the ability of a fluid a liquid or a gass to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it if the gas to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it |
| pressure | force exerted per unit area |
| viscosity | resistance to flow by a fluid |
| pascal | the measurement of pressure |
