| 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 |
