terms list
solid
matter that has a definite shape and a definite volume
liquid
matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
viscosity
a measurement of a liquid's resistance to flow
surface tension
the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
gas
matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape
vapor
the gas state of a substance that is normally a solid or a liquid at room temperature
kinetic energy
energy due to motion
temperature
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material
thermal energy
the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the particles that make up an object
Vaporization
the change in a state from a liquid to a gas
evaporation
the process of a liquid changing to a gas at the surface of the liquid
Condensation
The change of state from a gas to a liquid
sublimation
the process of changing directly from a solid to a gas
deposition
The process of changing directly from a gas to a solid
kinetic molecular theory
an explanation of how particles in matter behave
pressure
the amount of force per unit area applied to an object's surface
Boyle's law
the law that pressure of a gas increases if the volume decreases and pressure of a gas decreases if the volume increases, when temperature is constant
Charles law
The law that volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, if the pressure is constant
