| freezing | the change of state from a liquid to a solid |
| melting | the change of state from a solid to a liquid |
| vaporization | the change of state from a liquid to a gas |
| evaporation | vaporization that only takes place on the surface of a substance |
| boliling | vaporization that occurs throughout the substance, including the surface |
| condensation | the change of state from gas to liquid |
| sublimation | The change of state directly from solid to gas, without going through the liquid phase |
| boiling point | The temperature at which a liquid boils |
| melting point | The specific temperature in which a substance melts |
| solid | A substance that has a definite shape and volume |
| crystalline solid | solids that are made up of crystals, when it is heated up, it melts at a certain temperature |
| amorphous solid | a solid in which the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, when an amorphous solid is heated it just gets softer and softer |
| liquid | A substance that doesn't have a definite shape but has a definite volume |
| fluid | A substance that flooows, can include liquids AND gases |
| surface tension | The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together; a property of liquids |
| viscosity | a liquid's resistance to floooowing |
| gas | a substance that doesn't have a definite volume or shape |
| charles law #1 | a law that states as temperature increases, volume increases as temperature decreases, volume decreases in a gas at constant pressure |
| boyles law | a law that states that as pressure increase volume increases as pressure decreases volume increases in a gas at constant temperature |
| charles law #2 | a law that states as pressure increases, temperature increases as pressure decreases, temperature decreases in a gas at constant volume |
| Charles Law #2 Formula | P1/V1 = P2/V2 where P1 = 1st Pressure, P2 = 2nd Pressure V1 = 1st Volume and V2 = 2nd Volume |
| Boyles Law Formula | PV = k, where p = pressure, v = volume, and k = the gas constant |
| Ideal Gas Formula | PV = nrt where p = pressure, v = volume, n = amount of moles in the gas r = the gas constant and t = temperature |
| Pressure | Force/Area |
