| change of state | the conversion of a substance from one physical form to another |
| melting | the change of state from a solid to a liquid |
| freezing | the change of state from a liquid to a solid |
| vaporization | the change of state from a liquid to a gas; includes boiling and evaporization |
| boiling | vaporization that occurs throughout the liquid |
| evaporization | vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below its boiling point |
| condensation | the change of state from a gas to a liquid |
| sublimation | the change of state from a solid directly to a gas |
| Boyle's Law | the law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas increases as its pressure decreases |
| Charles's Law | the law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases |
