Matter
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Melting | When a solid turns into a liquid |
| Freezing | When a liquid changes into a solid |
| Vaporization | When a liquid turns into a gas |
| Evaporation | When only the surface of a liquid turns into a gas |
| Condensation | When a gas turns into a liquid |
| Sublimation | When a solid turns straight into a gas |
| Boiling | When evaporation occurs both at the surface and the bottom of a liquid |
| Charles’s 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. |
| Boiling Point | Temperature at which a liquid boils. |
| Freezing point | the temperature when a substance freezes. |
| Melting point | the temperature at which a substance melts. |
| Temperature | the higher the temperature the faster particles moving. |
| 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. |
| Gas | particles are able to move and spread out filling all space available, thus gases has no definite shape or definite volume. |
| Viscosity | A liquid's resistance to flowing. Example: Honey has a high viscosity. |
| Surface Tension | An inward force, or pull among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together. |
| Liquid | particles are free to move so a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape. A. Properties of Liquids: |
| Amorphous solids | particles not arranged in a repeating pattern. Example: Glass, plastic, and rubber. |
| Crystalline solids | particles form a regular repeating pattern called crystals. Example: salt, sugar, and snow. |
| Solid | closely packed particles cause matter to have a definite shape and definite volume. A. Types of Solids: |
