Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases,and plasma states
Term | Definition |
---|---|
State of matter | The physical forms of matter that include solid, liquid, gas |
Solid | The state of matter where the volume and shape are fixed |
Liquid | The state of matter where the volume is fixed but the shape isn't |
Gas | The state of matter where neither that volume or shape is fixed |
Melting Point | Temperature at which a solid changes to liquid |
Vaporization | Process in which liquid changes to gas |
Boiling Point | Temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to gas |
Condensation | The change in state from gas to liquid |
Freezing Point | Temperature at which a liquid changes to solid |
Sublimation | The process in which a solid changes directly into gas |
Phase-Change-Diagram | Drawing that shows the relationships among temperature and changes of state |
Plasma | A state of matter that forms when temperature are high enough to completely remove electrons from the atoms to which they were bound |
