200

When this is added to a substance, its state of matter changes. 

What is thermal energy?

300

The point at which a solid is heated so much, it creates a liquid.

What is the melting point?

300

This is the word for when a liquid cools and turns into a solid.

What is freezing?

300

They move faster

300

What makes plasma different from an ordinary gas?

Plasma contains electrically charged particles.

300

This state of matter has the most thermal energy, and and made up of charged particles.

What is a plasma?

400

What happens to particle motion when a solid is heated?

A: The particles move/vibrate faster.

400

This is the point at which a liquid gains thermal energy and turns into a gas.

What is boiling point?

400

This is the name for when a solid turns into a gas.

What is sublimation?

400

Explain how a gas can become plasma.

Adding enough energy ionizes the gas, producing charged particles.
