TermDefinition
Solid A state of matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume.
Crystalline solid A solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.
Amorphous solid A solid made up of particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.
Liquid A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume.
Fluid Any substance that can flow.
Surface tension The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together; causes the surface to act as if it has a thin skin.
Viscosity A liquid's resistance to flowing.
Gas A state of matter with no definite shape or volume.
Pressure The force pushing on a surface on a surface divided by the area of that surface.
Melting The change in state from a solid to a liquid.
Melting point The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Freezing The change in state from a liquid to a solid.
Vaporization The change of state from a liquid to gas.
Evaporation The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas.
Boiling Vaporization that occurs at and below the surface of a liquid.
Boiling point The temperature at which a liquid boils.
Condensation The change of state from a gas to a liquid.
Sublimation The change of state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state.
Charles's Law A principle that describes the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure.
Directly proportional A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose graph is a straight line passing through the point (0, 0).
Boyle's Law A principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.
Inversely proportional A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose product is constant.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
