state of matter | the physical forms of matter, which include solid, liquid, and gas |
solid | state of matter in which the volume and shape are fixed |
gas | a form of matter that does not have definite volume or shape |
melting point | temperature at which a solid turns to a liquid |
vaporization | process in which a liquid turns into gas |
boiling point | the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas |
condensation | the change of state from liquid to a gas |
freezing point | temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid |
sublimation | the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas |
phase change diagram | drawing that shows the relationships of temperature and changes of state |
plasma | a state of matter that forms when temperatures are enough to completely remove electrons from atoms |
