boiling | the conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure |
evaporation | change of a substance from a liquid to a gas slowly |
sublimation | the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas or a gas into a solid |
melting | change of state in which a solid becomes a liquid |
freezing | change of state from a liquid to a solid |
change of state | the change of a substance from 1 physical state to another |
temperature | measure of how fast the particles in an object are moving; measure of how hot or cold something is |
pressure | the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface |
volume | the amount of space an object takes up |
viscosity | the resistance of a gas or liquid to flow |
