Melting Point
Definition

The temperature at which a solid begins to liquefy.

Term

Vaporization

Definition

 

The process of changing a liquid to a gas.

 

 

Term
Evaporation
Definition

Vaporization which happens at the surface of a liquid below the boiling point of that liquid.

Term
Boiling
Definition

A process which a liquid enters the gaseous state.  It occurs throughout a liquid at a specific temperurature.   

Term
Melting and freezing point of water
Definition

 

 

0 degrees Celsius

Term
Plasma
Definition

Most common state of matter in the universe consisting of positively and negatively charged particles.  This state is found in all stars (sun), lightning bolts, neon and fluorescent lights and auroras.

Term

The faster the movement of the particles, the higher the _____.

Definition
Term
The particles have the strongest intermolecular forces.
Definition
solid
Term
Volume and shape are definite.  Particles ____ in fixed postion.
Definition
Vibrate
Term
Heating Curves
Definition

 

Graphs that show the phase changes that occur as a specific substance is heated. 

Term

 

 Phase change 

Definition

When a material changes from one state of matter to another.  

Term

 

Energy

Definition

 


Heat is the transfer of this from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.  

Term

State with a definite volume but not a definte shape.  

Definition
Liquid
Term
The particles in a liquid are moving past each other and have enough _______to overcome the attractive forces.  
Definition

Kinetic Energy

Term
Does not have a definite volume or shape. 
Definition

Gas

Term
Boiling and Evaporation
Definition

Processes of vaporization

Term
Sublimation
Definition

 

The process where a solid changes directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid. 

Term
Condensation
Definition

 

The process of a gas or vapor becoming a liquid.

Term
Dew
Definition

 

The water vapor that condenses on blades of grass or a car forms liquid droplets.  

Term
Fog
Definition

When a layer of air near the ground cools, water vapor in the air condenses. 

Term
Deposition
Definition

Some substances can change directly into a solid without first forming a liquid.  An example is the formation of snowflakes forming when water vapor changes directly to ice crystals.

Term
Heat
Definition

Removing this from the water, the molecules lose kinetic energy and slow down. 

Term
Freezing Point
Definition

 The temperature where a liquid is converted into a solid. 

Term
Boiling point of water
Definition
100 degrees celsius or 212 Fahrenheit
