Term
Definition
solid   matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume. definite crystalline arrangement.  
🗑
vapor   a gaseous state of a substance that is normally a liquid at room temperature  
🗑
vaporization   at constant temperature, it is a process in which particles in the liquid phase gain enough energy to break away into the gaseous phase. also known as boiling reverse of condensation  
🗑
sublimation   the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas; a phase skipper reverse of deposition  
🗑
liquid   a phase of matter having a definite volume but not definate shape...takes the shape of its container ( a shape shifter)  
🗑
HEAT OF FUSION   amount of heat needed to convert a unit mass of a substance from a solid to its liquid at its melting point.  
🗑
HEAT OF VAPORIZATION   THE AMOUNT OF HEAT NEEDED TO CONVERT A UNIT MASS OF A SUBSTANCE FROM A LIQUID TO A VAPOR AT ITS BOILING POINT  
🗑
exothermic   a chemical reaction that releases heat, producing products with less potential energy then the reatants  
🗑
freezing point   the constant temperature process in which both the solid and liquid phase existt in equilibrium, the same temperature as the substance's melting point  
🗑
endothermic   a chemical reaction that absorbs heat, producing products with more potential energy then the reactants  
🗑
deposition   the process in which a gas changes directly into a solid. the reverse of sublimation  
🗑
condensation   an exothermic process which a vapor or gas changes into the liquid phase, the potential energy of a substance decreases during this constant temperature process the reverse of vaporization  
🗑
boiling point   the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure  
🗑
specific heat capacity   the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).  
🗑
gas   an airl ike fluid substance which expands freely to fill any space available, irrespective of its quantity.  
🗑
Force of attraction   a force that draws an object close due to its attraction. same as inter-molecular force (IMF)  
🗑
Kinetic energy   energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.  
🗑
Potential energy   the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, energy at rest  
🗑
solid   regular repeating geometric pattern  
🗑
IMF   inter molecular forces  
🗑
force   attraction between molecules  
🗑
bond   is between atoms  
🗑
calorimetry   the science of measuring the change in heat that comes from a chemical reaction  
🗑
enthalpy   a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
