Solid | The state of matter in which the volume and shape of substances are fixed. |
Gas | A form of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape. |
Melting point | Temperature at which solids turn into liquids. |
Vaporization | Process at which liquids turn into gas. |
Freezing point | Temperature at which liquids turn into solids. |
Sublimation | The process in which a solid turn 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 temperatures are enough to completely remove electrons from atoms to which they were bound. |
Boiling point | The temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and turns into a gas. |
Condensation | The liquid that forms from gas, through cooling. |
