| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solid | A state of matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume. |
| Crystalline Soild | A solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern. |
| Amorphous Solid | A solid made up of of particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern. |
| Liquid | A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume. |
| Fluid | Any substance that can flow |
| Surface Tension | The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together; causes the surface to act as if has a thin skin |
| Visocsoity | A liquid's resistance to flowing |
| Gas | A state of matter with no definite shape or volume. |
| Pressure | The force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface |
| Melting | The change in state from a solid to a liquid |
| Melting Point | The temperature at which a substance changes forma solid to a liquid; the same as the freezing point, or temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid |
| Freezing | The change in state from a liquid to a solid |
| Vaporazation | The change of state from a liquid to a gas |
| Evaporazation | The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas |
| Boiling | Vaporization that occurs at and below the the surface of a liquid |
| Boiling Point | The temperature at which a liquid boils |
| Condensation | The change of state from a gas to a liquid |
| Sublimation | The change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state |
| Charles's Law | A principal that describes that relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure |
| Directly Proportional | A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose graph is a straight line passing through the point |
| Boyle's Law | A principal that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature |
| Inversely Proportional | A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose product is constant |
