State of Matter | The physical form of matter including solids, liquids, and gases |
Solid | The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance of matter are fixed |
Liquid | A type of biochemical that doesn't dissolve in water |
Gas | A state of matter that doesn't have a define shape or volume |
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 into a gas |
Condensation | A change in 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 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 |
