physical change
change where matter keeps the same chemical properties
chemical change
a change where one kind of matter changes into a different kind of matter with different properties
evaporation
takes place when particles leave a liquid to become a gas
condensation
occurs when a gas turns into a liquid
sublimation
process where some solids change directly to gases without first becoming liquids (think dry ice)
