"States of Matter"

AB
gasform of matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container
liquidform of matter that has an indefinite shape, flows, yet has a fixed volume
phaseany part of a sample with uniform composition and properties
physical changeproperties of a material may change, but composition remains the same
solidform of matter that has a definite shape and volume
vaporthe gaseous state of a substance that is a liquid or solid at room temperature
kinetic energyenergy an object has due to its motion
endothermicabsorbs energy from its surroundings
heat of fusionenergy needed for 1 gram of solid to become liquid
exothermicreleases energy to its surroundings.
vaporizationphase change from liquid to gas
heat of vaporizationenergy needed for 1 gram of liquid to become gas
evaporationsubstance change from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance’s boiling point
vapor pressurecaused by collisions of vapor with walls of closed container
condensationphase change from a gas/vapor to liquid
sublimationphase change from solid directly to gas/vapor
depositionphase change from gas/vapor directly to solid
phase changereversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another
melting pointtemperature at which solid/liquid phase changes occur
boiling pointtemperature at which liquid/gas phase changes occur
