False - Water takes up more space as a solid.

2

Freezing and condensation are _________________ changes.

Exothermic

2

The process in which a substance changes from a solid, skips the liquid phase, and becomes a gas.

Sublimation

2

The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.

Boiling point

2

The process by which a substance changes directly from a gas to a solid, skipping the liquid phase.

Deposition

Transferred

2

True or False: A change of state is a chemical change.

False

2

The change of matter from one state to another, such as a solid, liquid, or gas.

Phase change or Change of state

2

True or False: Particles of a substance begin to move slower at higher temperatures

False: Particles begin to move faster at higher temperatures.
