| term | definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | A measure of how hot (or cold) something is, specifically, the measure of the movement of particles. |
| Volume | A measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional space. |
| Pressure | The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface. |
| Boyle's Law | The law that states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas when temperature is constant. |
| Charles's law | The law that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant. |
| Charles's law | Decreasing the temperature of the gas causes the particles to move more slowly, so the volume of the gas decreases. |
| Boyle's Law | Decreasing the volume of the gas, pushes the particles closer together, causing the pressure to increase. |
| Charles's Law | Increasing the temperature of the gas causes the particles to move more quickly, which causes the volume of the gas to increase. |
| Boyle's Law | Inceasing the volume of the gas, allows the particles to move further apart, which causes the pressure to decrease. |
