| 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 |
| phases (states) of matter | The physical forms that matter can take, solid, liquid, gas, plasma. |
| phase change | The change of matter from one phase to another. Solid melting to a liquid, or liquid becoming a gas. It always involves a change in energy levels. |
| absolute zero | When particles completely stop moving. It cannot be achieved on earth because the center is molten (liquid rock). |
| molecular motion | the greater the pressure the molecules exert. solids barely move, liquids are faster, gasses are the fastest and have the greatest pressure. |
| matter | anything that has a mass and a volume and can be classified as solids, liquids, or gases. |
| amorphous solid | DO NOT have particles arranged in a regular repeating pattern. NO specific MP instead becomes softer when heated (unless reaches smoking/burn point). Example: plastics, rubber, glass, wax |
| fluid | A substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container. |
| chemistry | The study of matter and its changes. |
| bose-einstein condensate | man made phase of matter known as cold solid |
| physical change | cutting paper into pieces |
| physical property | color of paper |
| chemical change | rusting of metal |
| physical property | states (phases) of matter |
| chemical property | ability of an object to burn |
