QuestionAnswer
Condensation the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid
Expansion the action of becoming larger or more extensive
Molecule a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit
Motion the action or process of moving or being moved
Pressure continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
Temperature the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object,
Volume the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container,
Density the degree of compactness of a substance
Gas a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume
Liquid a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil
Solid firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.
Speed the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate
States of Matter one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
Kinetic theory of matter says that all matter consists of many, very small particles which are constantly moving or in a continual state of motion
Melting make or become liquefied by heat. Solid to liquid state
Freezing–(of a liquid) be turned into ice or another solid as a result of extreme cold.:
evaporation/vaporization\boiling the process of turning from liquid into vapor
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from a solid state to a gas state
Deposition phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase.
Conduction the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material
Convection the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat
radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium
