Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| State of Matter | the physical forms of matter; includes solid, gas, and liquid |
| Solid | the state of matter in which volume and shape of a substance is filled |
| Liquid | the state of matter that has a definite volume, but no definite shape |
| Gas | a form of matter that has does not have a definite shape or volume |
| Melting Point | temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid |
| Vaporization | process in which a liquid changes to a gas |
| Boiling Point | temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to a gas |
| Condensation | the change of state from gas to liquid |
| Freezing Point | temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid |
| Sublimation | the process in which a solid changes directly to 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 are bound |
