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 liquid changes to a gas. |
Vaporization | Process in which a liquid changes to a gas. |
Boiling Point | Temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. |
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 temperature are high enough t completely remove electrons from the atoms to which they were bound. |
