Melting point | Temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. |
Vaporization | Process in which a liquid changes to a gas. |
Boiling point | The temperature at which a liquid vaporizes and changes to a gas. |
Condensation | The change of a state from a gas to a liquid. |
Freezing point | Temperature at 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 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 were bound |
