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 a gas |
Boiling Point | the temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to a gas |
Condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
Freezing Point | temperature in 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 temperatures 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 |
