| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Bose-Einstein Condensate | state of matter within 1 billionth of a degree of absolute zero where molecular motion is almost completely stopped, extremely cold and extremely slow |
| Solid | state of matter where molecules hold their shape |
| Liquid | state of matter where molecules flow to take the shape of their container |
| Gas | state of matter where molecules take the shape of the container and bounce at high speeds |
| Plasma | state of matter where molecules are super excited and occurs at extreme temperatures, for instance stars |
| Kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| Thermal energy | total energy of all the particles in a sample of matter |
| Melting | change from the solid state to the liquid state |
| Freezing | change from the liquid state to the solid state |
| Vaporization | any change from the liquid state to the gas state |
| Boiling | change from the liquid state to the gas state below the surface of a liquid |
| Evaporation | change from the liquid state to the gas state on the surface of a liquid |
| Condensation | change from the gas state to the liquid state |
| Sublimation | change directly from the solid state to the gas state without ever becoming a liquid |
| Deposition | change directly from the gas state to the solid state without ever becoming a liquid |
| Pure Substance | matter made of either one type of atom or one type of molecule |
| Element | substance with atoms with the same number of protons |
| Compound | #two or more elements chemically bonded to make new substances |
| Mixture | #two or more substances not chemically bonded but mixed together |
| Homogeneous mixture | mixture which looks the same throughout |
| Heterogeneous mixture | mixture which has visibly different parts |
