| A | B |
|---|
| solid | molecules are tightly packed together and arranged in an orderly fashion |
| liquid | molecules are tightly packed together , but can slide over and past each other |
| gas | molecules are high energy and far apart |
| plasma | atoms are at the highest energy state and their electrons leave their orbits around the nucleus |
| bose-einstein | a new form of gaseous matter formed at the lowest temperatures possible |
| freezing | liquid changing into a solid |
| melting | molecules gain energy and move further apart and form a liquid |
| condensation | gas molecules lose energy and move closer together to form a liquid |
| evaporation | gas molecules gain energy and move further apart to form a gas |
| sublimation | molecules in a solid gain energy and move very far apart and form a gas |
| boiling | liquid molecules gain energy and move very far apart and form a gas |
| vaporization | process where a solid or liquid turns into a gas |
| ion | atom that has either a positive or negative charge |
| cation | positively charged ion |
| anion | negatively charged ion |
