31
Q

conversion of a solid to liquid

32
Q

how is melting done?

A

when heat is added, the solid’s particles acquire energy and will have more freedom to move

33
Q

temperature at which melting occurs

A

melting point

34
Q

process where liquid turns solid

35
Q

temperature where particles lose energy

A

freezing point

36
Q

who are the discoverers of the Bose-Einstein Condensate

A

Wolfgang Ketterle
Eric Cornell
Carl Weiman

37
Q

conversion of liquid into gas

A

vaporization

38
Q

vaporization is also called

39
Q

temperature at which a liquid boils or turns to gas

A

boiling point

40
Q

cooling of gas particles, which slows down their speed

A

condensation

41
Q

is it common for solids to turn into liquids before becoming a gas?

42
Q

happens when solids are converted to gases directly without having to go through the liquid state

A

sublimation

43
Q

occurs when the energy of the particles in a solid and much higher than atmospheric pressure

A

sublimation

44
Q

one way to achieve this is by rapidly raising the temperature of the solid beyond its boiling point

A

sublimation

45
Q

another way to achieve this is by cooling a liquid under a vacuum, and then the solidified liquid turns to gas quickly

A

freeze drying

46
Q

what are the examples of sublimation

A

solid carbon dioxide
dry ice
mothballs

47
Q

example of condensation

A

formation of droplets on the surface of eyeglasses

48
Q

gas transforms directly into a solid without having to go through the liquid state.

A

deposition

49
Q

occurs when the temperature of the gas is lower than the freezing point

A

deposition

when matter can be physically separated

58
Q

when pure substances cannot be chemically decomposed

59
