Term
sublimation
Definition
the change in state from a solid to a gas w/o passing through the liquid state
Term
charles' law
Definition
a principle that describes the relationship b/w the temp. and vol. of a gas @ constant pressure
Term
pressure
Definition
the force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface................. force/area
Term
condensation
Definition

Term
Boyle's law
Definition
a principle that describes the relationship b/w the pressure and vol. of a gas @ constant pressure
Term
graph
Definition

Term
difference b/w evaporation and boiling
Definition
e: occurs on the surface
b: below the surface
both: types of vaporization
Term
describe the particles in the stages of melting, & freezing
Definition
m: occurs @ melting point....particles vibrate faster creating thermal energy....finally, break free from fixed positions-----------------f: particles move slowly, form regular patterns
Term
describe the particles in solids, liquids, & gases
Definition
S: packed closely together; tightly fixed in position; vibrate slightly--------L: packed almost as close as solid; move freely around one another--------G: particles have no limited space, unless in container; as they move, spread apart filling space
Term
