| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| sublimation | this occurs when a solid substance turns directly into a vapor becoming a liquid first |
| matter | anything that occupies space and has a mass |
| pure substance | materials made of just one kind of particle |
| mixture | combinations of two or more pure substances |
| state of matter | solid, liquid, or gas |
| temperature | the form of energy that usually determines a substance's state of matter |
| solid | forms when the attraction between particles is greater than their ability to move away from each other |
| liquid | forms when particles of a substance can move around but are still close together |
| gas | when particles are far apart and move very fast |
| plasma | the state of matter in the sun; acts like a gas but has charged electrically charged particles |
| melting | when warm temperatures move particles of a solid far apart forming a liquid |
| freezing (solidification) | when particles slow down until their attraction to each other locks them into a fixed position |
| vaporization | the change from a liquid state to a vapor |
| boiling | happens when vaporization happens so fast that bubbles form in a liquid |
| evaporation | if vaporization occurs over a long period of time at temperatures below the boiling point of that liquid |
| condensation | forms when gas particles clump together as temperatures drop and a liquid forms |
| sublimation | this occurs when a solid substance turns directly into a vapor without becoming a liquid first |
| deposition | particles in the vapor state can collect on cool surfaces without becoming a liquid first |
