What is a qualitative observation?
Those not involving numbers
A universally accepted explanation of the problem
Theory
States what general behavior is observed to occur naturally
Law
State of matter with a definite shape and volume, particles are packed tightly together and only vibrate gently around fixed positions
Solids
State of matter with no definite shape (takes shape of container) but a definite volume. Particles are free to move
Liquid
Have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Particles spread apart and fill all of the space in the container available to them
Gases
Solid to liquid
Melting
Liquid to gas
Boiling or evaporation
Gas to liquid
Condensing
Solid to gas
Sublimation
Gas to solid
Reverse sublimation or deposition
Liquid to solid
Freezing, solidifying, or crystallizing
