Science 8 Changes of State Vocab Words Flashcards
Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid boils.
Condensation
The change in state from a gas to a liquid.
Evaporation
The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas.
Freezing point
The temperature at which a liquid freezes.
Melting point
The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid; the same as the freezing point, or temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid.
Sublimation
The change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state.
Temperature
How hot or cold something is, a measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance; the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
Thermal energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object.
