| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| States Of Matter | physical forms in which a substance can exist |
| Viscosity | the resistance of a gas or liquid to flow |
| Solid | is the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume |
| Surface Tension | the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and that tends to minimize that area of the surface |
| Gas | a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume |
| Temperature | a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically; a measure of the movement of particles |
| volume | a measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional space |
| pressure | the amount of force exerted per unit area of a space |
| Changes of state | the change of a substance from one physical form to another |
| Endothermic | a chemical reaction that requires heat |
| exothermic | Energy must be removed from the gas to slow the movement of the particles |
| Boyle's law | the law that states that the volume of a gas in inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas when temperature in constant |
| Charle's law | the law that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant |
| evaporation | the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas |
| boiling | the conversation of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure |
| condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
| sublimation | the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas |
