Physical change Flashcards
Melting
the process of heating a solid to the point where it turns into a liquid
evaporation
the process of liquid turning into gas by the sun or heat
solidification
the process of freezing a liquid at freezing temperatures to turn into a solid.
condensation
the process of a gas turning into a liquid from heat or cooling in a room or if a cloud builds up a lot of rain to pour down from the sky.
solid
a state of matter that has particles very close to each other and when heat is applied it vibrates.
liquid
a state of matter where the particles are more spread out than a solid.
gas
a state of matter where the particles are highly active and spread out so they bump into each other quite frequently
deposition
the process of turning a gas to a solid by cooling it but it does not turn into a liquid first to do so.
desublimation
the same process of deposition
sublimation
the process of turning a solid into gas but not turning into a liquid to do so.
