Occures at the surface of a liquid and can happen at nearly any temperature
Evaporation
Anything that takes up space and has a mass
Matter
When a liquid's temperature is lowered, the average kinetic energy of the molecule freezes
Temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
Melting Point
Process by which a gas becomes a liquid
Condensation
State in which the particles are in a rapid and constant motion. Partiles are constantly crashing against the walls of where they are stored, not losing any energy
Gaseous State
The transfer of energy between particles of liquid and particles of solid
Melting
Temperature at which the pressure of the liquid's vapor is equal to the external pressure on the surface of the liquid
Boiling Point
Process by which a liquid can become a gas
Vaporization
State in which the particles don't move as rapidly since they have a definite volume. Particles stick to each other, takes the shape of its container
Liquid State
The second way by which a liquid can vaporize; occurs throughout a liquid at a specific temperature, depending on the pressure on the surface of the liquid
Boiling
Amount of energy requiered in order for a liquid at its boiling point to transform into a gas
Heat of Vaporization
The process by which a solid changes directly to a gas without going through the liquid state
State in which the particles are packed together with very little energy and movement, they have a definite volume and shape
Solid State
Deposition
Energy requiered to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point
Heat of Fusion
An explanation as to how particles behave in gases
