Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states
Term | Definition |
---|---|
State of Matter | The physical forms of matter, which include solid, liquid, and gas |
Solid | The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed |
Liquid | The state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape |
Gas | A form of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape |
Melting Point | temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid |
Vaporization | process in which a liquid changes into a gas |
Boiling Point | temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to a gas |
Condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
Freezing Point | temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid |
Sublimation | Sublimation the process in which a solid turns directly into a gas |
Phase-change diagram | drawing that shows the relationships among temperature and changes of state |
Plasma | a state of matter that forms when temperatures are high enough to completely remove electrons from the atoms to which they were bound |
