section 2: tempature
a measure of how hot or cold something is specifically a measure of the movement of particles
volume
a measure of the size of a body or region in 3 demoniacal shape
pressure
the amount of force extorted per unit area of a surface
boyles law
law that states gas is invercly proportional when temperature is comstant
Charles law
law that states gas is directly proportional when pressure is constant
section 3: change of substance
change from on phycical form to another
melting
change of state where a solid becomes a liquid by adding energy
