| A | B |
| crystal | type of solid has groups of atoms that occur in regular repeating sequences |
| sublimation | process in which a solid gets converted directly in to gaseous state other than liquid |
| deposition | phase transition in which matter transitions directly from a gaseous state into a solid state without passing through an intermediate liquid phase |
| freezing | The process through which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. |
| condensation | The change of a gas or vapor to a liquid |
| vaporization | includes boiling and evaporation |
| melting | process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase |
| solid | state of matter characterized by particles arranged such that their shape and volume are relatively stable |
| liquid | sample of matter that conforms to the shape of a container in which it is held |
| gas | a form of matter that is neither solid nor liquid and can increase in size to fill any container |
| plasma | a state of matter where the gas phase is energized until atomic electrons are no longer associated with any particular atomic nucleus |
| evaporation | change of a liquid into a vapor at the surface of the liquid |
| vaporization | phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor |
| liquid | has a definite volume, it does not have a definite shape |
| amorphous solid | lacks the long-range order characteristic of a crystal |
| gas | a state of matter consisting of particles that have neither a defined volume nor defined shape |
| plasma | made up of positively charged ions and unbound electrons. |
| malleable | characteristic of substance that can be hammered into thin sheets |
| physical property | can be observed without changing identity of matter |
| chemical property | results in matters ability to change into a new (different substance |
| physical change | characteristics are changed without changing identity of substance |
| chemical change | characteristics are entirely changed forming a new substance |
