| 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 a matter that does not have a definite volume or shape |
| Melting Point | temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid |
| Vaporization | process where a liquid changes into a gas |
| Boiling Point | the temperature at which a solid turns into a gas |
| condensation | the change from gas to 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 temperature are enough ti completely remove electrons from the atoms to which they were bound |
