Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids,gases, and plasma states
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 |
Gas | a form of matter that does not have definite volume or shape |
Melting point | Temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid |
Vaporization | Process in which a liquid changes into gas |
Boiling Point | The temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to 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 enough to completely remove electrons from the atoms to which they were bound |
