Question | Answer |
---|---|
Capillary Action | The attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid |
Fluid | A substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container; a liquid or a gas |
Evaporation | The process by which particles escape from the surface of a nonboiling liquid and enter the gas state |
Freezing | The physical change of a liquid to a solid by the removal of heat |
Surface Tension | A force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquid's surface together, thereby decreasing surface area to the smallest possible size |
Vaporizaion | The process by which a liquid or solid changes to a gas |
Melting | The physical change of a solid to a liquid by the addition of heat |
Melting Point | The emperature at which a solid becomes a liquid |
Boiling | The conversion of a liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as at its surface |
Boiling Point | The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas |
Condensation | The process by which a gas changes to a liquid |
Deposition | The change of a state from a gas directly to a solid |
Freezing Point | The temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid |
Phase | Any part of a system that has uniform composition and properties |
Phase Diagram | A graph of pressure versus temperature that shows the conditions under which the phases of a substance exist |
Sublimation | The change of state from a solid directly to a gas |
