Question | Answer |
---|---|
physical property | The properties of matter we observe with our senses |
extrinsic properties | Mass, volume, and energy |
intrinsic properties | Color, melting point, boiling point, hardness, and electrical conductivity |
compressible | Can be pressed down |
phase barriers | The point at which matter changes phase |
condensation point | The temperature at which gas becomes a liquid |
freezing point | The temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid |
melting point | The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid |
boiling point | The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas |
sublimation | The evaporation of a substance directly from a solid to a gas without melting |
deposition | The condensation of a substance directly from a vapor to a solid, without going through the liquid phase |
density | The mass per unit volume of a substance, how tightly packed it is |
polarity | How the charge is distributed in a bond |
volatile compound | Atoms that exist as gas at room temperature |
volume | The amount of space an object takes up |
pressure | A force applied uniformly over an area |
directly proportional | When one quantity increases, so dose the related quantity |
inversely proportional | When one quantity increases, the opposite quantity decreases |
internal energy | The transfer of heat or thermal energy |
