A solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular repeating pattern | Crystalline solid |
A solid made up of particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern | Amorphous solid |
A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume | Liquid |
Any substance that can flow | Fluid |
The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together; cause the surface to act as if it has a thin skin | Surface tension |
A liquid’s resistance to flowing | Viscosity |
A state of matter with no definite shape or volume | Gas |
The change in state form a solid to a liquid | Melting |
The temperature at which a substance changes form a solid to a liquid; the same as the freezing point or the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid | Melting point |
The change in state from a liquid to a solid | Freezing |
The change of state from a liquid to a gas | Vaporization |
The change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state | Sublimation |
The process that occurs when vaporization takes place only on the surface of a liquid | Evaporation |
The process that occurs when vaporization takes place inside a liquid as well as on the surface | Boiling |
