This will help you study for the section 2 quiz and the chapter 3 test.
change of state
CONVERSION of a substance from one PHYSICAL FORM to another
heat
a TRANSFER of ENERGY
sublimation
a change of state from a solid directly into a gas
temperature
a measure of the speed of its particles (a measure of its energy)
melting
change of state from a solid to a liquid
melting point
TEMPERATURE at which the substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
endothermic change
energy is ABSORBED (added, goes in)
freezing point
TEMPERATURE at which a liquid changes into a solid
freezing
change of state from a liquid to a solid
exothermic change
energy is REMOVED (goes out, exits)
vaporization
change of state from a liquid to a gas
boiling
VAPORIZATION that occurs throughout a liquid
evaporation
VAPORIZATION occurs at the SURFACE of a liquid BELOW its boiling point
condensation
change of state from a gas to a liquid
condensation point
TEMPERATURE at which the gas becomes a liquid and is the same tmperature as the boiling point
