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 a definite volume or shape |
| Melting Point | temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid |
| Vaporization | process in which a liquid turns into a gas |
| Boiling Point | the temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes into a gas |
| Condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
| Freezing Point | temperature at which a liquid turns 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 are bound |
