---|---|
The Physical forms in which a substance can exist. | States of Matter |
The state in which matter has a definite shape and volume. | Solid |
The state in which matter takes the shape of its container and has a definite volume. | Liquid |
A force that acts on the particles at the surface of a liquid. | Surface Tension |
A liquid's resistance to flow. | Viscosity |
The state in which matter changes in both shape and volume. | Gas |
The amount of force exerted on a given area. | Pressure |
For a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as its pressure decreases. | Boyle's Law |
For a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases. | Charles's Law |
The state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume and whose particles have broken apart. | Plasma |
The changes of a substance from one physical form to another. | Change of State |
The change of state from a solid to a liquid. | Melting |
The change of state from a liquid to a solid. | Freezing |
The change of state from a liquid to a gas. | Vaporization |
Vaporization that takes place throughout a liquid. | Boiling |
Vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below the liquid's boiling point. | Evaporation |
The change of state from a gas to a liquid. | Condensation |
The change of state from a solid directly to a gas. | Sublimation |
