| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Crystalline solids | particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. |
| Amorphous solids | particles not arranged in a repeating pattern |
| Surface Tension | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together |
| Viscosity | A liquids’s resistance to flowing |
| Gas | particles are able to move and spread out filling all space available, thus gasses has no definite shape or definite volume |
| Pressure | gas particles constantly collide with one another and the walls of their container. Pressure is the outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container. Pressure= Force/Area. |
| Temperature | the higher the temperature the faster particles moving |
| Melting | When a solid changes to a liquid |
| Melting point | the temperature at which a substance melts. |
| Freezing | When a liquid changes to a solid |
| Freezing point | the temperature when a substance freezes. |
| Vaporization | When a liquid changes to a gas |
| Evaporation | takes place only on the surface of the liquid. |
| Boiling | When vaporization occurs both below the and at the surface. |
| Boiling Point | Temperature at which a liquid boils. |
| Condensation | When a gas changes to a liquid. |
| Sublimation | When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas. |
