| state of matter | the physical form in which a substance can exist |
| crystalline solid | solid with a very orderly three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or molecules, particles are arranged in repeating patterns or rows |
| solid | definite volume and definite shape |
| liquid | definite volume and indefinite shape |
| gas | indefinite volume and indefinite shape |
| amorphous solid | solid with atoms or molecules that are in no particular order, no organized pattern |
| plasma | a gas-like mixture of positively and negatively charged particles, conducts electric current, and is affected by electric and magnetic fields |
| kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| temperature | a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a sample of matter |
| volume | the amount of space occupied by an object |
| pressure | amount of force exerted on a given area/the number of collisions of particles against the inside of the container |
| Boyle's Law | 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 | states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as its temperature increases and the volume of the gas decreases as its temperature decreases |
