| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| where does vaporization take place | on the top of a liquid |
| where does boiling take place | on the top and bottom of a liquid |
| what is condensation | when a gas turns into a liquid |
| what is subliming | when a solid turns into a gas skipping the liquid state |
| what is viscosity | a liquids resistance to flow |
| what happens to particles as their tempature increases. | they speed up |
| what is the difference between crystalline solids and amorpheouse solids | crystalline solids have a repeating pattern of atoms. witch makes all crystalline solids melt at the same tempature. amorpheus solids don't have this property. |
| what is an amorpheause solid | a solid with a non repeating arrangment of atoms |
| what is a crystalline soild | a solid with a repeating arrangment of atoms |
| what is a solid | a state of matter where atoms are tightly packed together with enough room to vibrate |
| what is a liquid | a state of matter where atoms have more space to move and are able to slide past eachother. |
| what is a gas | a state of matter where atoms are able to move freely around a space/container |
| what is melting | when a solid changes to a liquid |
| what is the melting point | the tempature at which a solid melts |
| what is boiling point | the point where a liquid starts to boil |
| what is Charles law | When the temperature of a gas at a constant pressure is increased the volume is increased, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is decreased. |
| what is Boyle's law | When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume is decreases, if the temperature is decreased then the volume is increases. |
| what is something being directly proportainal | as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate. |
| what is something being Inversely proportional | When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. |
| what is freezing | when a liquid changes to a solid |
| what is the freezing point | its the tempature when a liquid changes to a soilid |
| what is surface tension | it is An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together. |
| what is 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. |
