States of matter

Solids

• Has a definite shape
• Has a definite volume

Melting

• To make or become liquefied by heat
• EX: An ice cube melts into water
• The ice melts because of heat

Liquids

• Does not have a shape
• Has a definite volume
• Slip and slide past each other
• The melting point of ice is 32 degrees

Evaporation

• The changing of liquid into gas often under the influence of heat
• EX: The water evaporates in the hot summer sun
• Water uses heat to evaporate

Boiling

• The action of bringing a liquid to the temperature at which it bubbles
• And turns to vapor
• The water turns into water vapors on the stove
• Water boils at 212 degrees

Gas

• Does not have a definite shape
• Does not have a definite volume

Gas

• Free to roam
• Particles are free

Condensation

• Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid
• is in contact with it
• EX: Drops of water on a soda bottle
• Condensation uses vaporization
• dew point is about 60 degrees

Liquids

• Particles are together but not free
• Particles slip/slide past each other

Solidification/Freezing

• The action of solidifying
• EX: The lake freezes in the winter
• Solidification uses condensation
• freezing point of water is 32 ferinheight

Solids

• Particles are tightly packed together
• Particles vibrate quickly in place

Sublimation

• The act, fact or the pro
