States of Matter and Changes of State (NeoK12)

melting

• when a solid changes to a gas directly without first becoming a liquid

• the process by which matter changes from a solid to a liquid

• the change of a liquid to a solid due to low temperature

sublimation

• the process by which matter changes from a solid to a liquid

• the change of state from liquid to a gas

• when a solid changes to a gas directly without first becoming a liquid

freezing

• when a liquid changes to a gas at its surface below the boiling point

• the change of a gas to a solid directly without first becoming a liquid

• the change of a liquid to a solid due to low temperature

deposition

• the change of a gas to a solid directly without first becoming a liquid

• when a solid changes to a gas directly without first becoming a liquid

• when a gas changes to a liquid

condensation

• when a gas changes to a liquid

• the process by which matter changes from a solid to a liquid

• when matter undergoes a state of change, it either absorbs or releases

vaporization

• when a gas changes to a liquid

• the change of state from liquid to a gas

• when a liquid changes to a gas at its surface below the boiling point

evaporation

• the change of a gas to a solid directly without first becoming a liquid

• when a solid changes to a gas directly without first becoming a liquid

• when a liquid changes to a gas at its surface below the boiling point

energy

• when matter undergoes a state of change, it either absorbs or releases

• when a gas changes to a liquid

• the process by which matter changes from a solid to a liquid

solid

• Has no definite shape, but has a a definite volume; Freezing and boiling are associates with this state; Materials in this state have the ability to flow, but not disperse; Takes the shape of its container

• Has neither a definite shape or volume; Has the lowest density; Can fill the whole volume of any container

• Has a definite shape a volume; Is generally rigid and resistant to deformation (change); Molecules are tightly packed, but slightly moving
