| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| solid | a definite shape |
| gas | a thing that moves around freely |
| liquid | a thing that take the shape of its container |
| Crystalline solids | particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. Example: salt, sugar, and snow. |
| Amorphous solids | particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Example: Glass, plastic, and rubber. |
| Surface Tension | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together. |
| Viscosity | A liquid's resistance to flowing. Example: Honey has a high viscosity. |
| Temperature | the higher the temperature the faster particles move. |
| Sublimation | When a substance changes straight from a solid to a gas. Example: Dry Ice |
| Melting | When a solid changes to a liquid |
| Melting point | the temperature at which a substance melts |
| the temperature at which a substance melts | 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. |
| 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. |
| Charlesās 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. |
| Directly proportional | as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate. |
| 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. |
| inversely proportional | When the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. |
