Question | Answer |
---|---|
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 to a gas. |
Boiling Point: | temperature at which a liquid vaporizer 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: | the process in which a solid changes 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. |
