Question	Answer
Sublimation	A solid turns directly into a gas.
Boiling	vaporization that takes place inside a liquid as well as at the surface
Vary inversely	When one variable increases the other decreases, and vice versa
Crystalline solid	where the particles form a regular repeating pattern (crystals)
Viscosity	resistance of a liquid to flowing
Amorphous solid	where the particles are not arranged in a regular repeating pattern
Pressure	is a measure of the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted (P=f/a)
Evaporation	vaporization that takes place only on the surface of a liquid
Freezing	liquid to solid
Directly proportional	both variables increase or decrease simultaneously
Temperature	a measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance
Graph	a diagram that tells how to variables are related
Melting	change from solid to liquid
Gas	has neither definite shape nor volume
Solid	definite shape and volume
Boiling point	when a liquid boils at a specific temperature
Condensation	occurs when gas particles lose enough energy to become a liquid (gas to liquid)
Vaporization	liquid to gas
Liquid	has no specific shape, but has a specific volume
