Vocab. List 7 - Phases of Matter

AB
SolidA state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and volume.
LiquidA state of matter in which materials have no definite shape, but do have definite volume.
GasA state of matter in which materials have no definite shape or volume.
Kinetic EnergyEnergy of motion.
PressureThe result of a force distributed over an area.
Absolute ZeroTemperature at which all motion stops.
Charles's LawIf the pressure and the number of particles remain constant and the temperature increases then the volume will increase.
Boyle's LawIf the temperature and the number of particles remain the same and the pressure increases then the volume will decrease.
VolumeThe amount of space an object occupies.
TemperatureA measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point.
Phase ChangeA reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another.
EndothermicA change in which energy is absorbed from its surroundings.
ExothermicA change in which energy is released to its surroundings.
VaporizationA phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
EvaporationA phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to gas on the surface of the liquid at temperatures below the boiling point.
BoilingA phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas anywhere throughout the liquid.
MeltingA phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
FreezingA phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to solid.
CondensationA phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to a liquid.
PlasmaA state of matter in which the atoms have been stripped of their electrons.
SublimationA phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas.
DepositionA phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to a solid.
