condensationchange of state from a gas to a liquid
boilingthe conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure
evaporationchange of a substance from a liquid to a gas slowly
sublimationthe process in which a solid changes directly into a gas or a gas into a solid
meltingchange of state in which a solid becomes a liquid
freezingchange of state from a liquid to a solid
change of statethe change of a substance from 1 physical state to another
temperaturemeasure of how fast the particles in an object are moving; measure of how hot or cold something is
pressurethe amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
volumethe amount of space an object takes up
viscositythe resistance of a gas or liquid to flow
surface tensionforce that acts on the particles at the surface to form spherical drops
liquidhas a definite volume but no definite shape
gashas no definite shape and no definite volume
solidhas a definite shape and a definite volume
chemical changechange where 1 or more substances change into a new substance
chemical propertiesdescribe matter based on its ability to react with other substances
physical changea change that affects 1 or more physical properties of a substance
