Term | Definition |
---|---|
State of Matter | The physical forms of matter, which includes 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 any definite volume or shape |
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 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 |
