  1. 1. The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, typically under standard atmospheric pressure.
  2. 2. The transition of a substance from the liquid phase to the solid phase, typically accompanied by a decrease in temperature.
  3. 3. Homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances uniformly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level.
  4. 5. The process where a solid substance changes into its liquid form, typically due to an increase in temperature.
  5. 6. The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.

  7. 10. Flows freely and takes the shape of its container.
  8. 11. A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature; it is at its maximum concentration
  9. 12. State of matter with definite shape and volume, characterized by strong intermolecular forces
