- 1SublimationA solid turns directly into a gas.
- 2Boilingvaporization that takes place inside a liquid as well as at the surface
- 3Vary inverselyWhen one variable increases the other decreases, and vice versa
- 4Crystalline solidwhere the particles form a regular repeating pattern (crystals)
- 5Viscosityresistance of a liquid to flowing
- 6Amorphous solidwhere the particles are not arranged in a regular repeating pattern
- 7Pressureis a measure of the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted
(P=f/a) - 8Evaporationvaporization that takes place only on the surface of a liquid
- 9Freezingliquid to solid
- 10Directly proportionalboth variables increase or decrease simultaneously
- 11Temperaturea measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance
- 12Grapha diagram that tells how to variables are related
- 13Meltingchange from solid to liquid
- 14Gashas neither definite shape nor volume
- 15Soliddefinite shape and volume
- 16Boiling pointwhen a liquid boils at a specific temperature
- 17Condensationoccurs when gas particles lose enough energy to become a liquid (gas to liquid)
- 18Vaporizationliquid to gas
- 19Liquidhas no specific shape, but has a specific volume
