  1. 2. a factor that allows matter to change states; revolves around forcing atoms towards or away from each other
  2. 5. the phase change that transforms a solid into a gas; think of dry ice
  3. 8. a factor that allows matter to change states; revolves around giving or taking kinetic energy away from atoms
  4. 11. this is how many MAJOR states of matter are naturally found in the observable universe
  5. 12. Theory a central idea of chemistry that states particles of matter are in constant motion
  6. 14. anything that has mass and takes up space

  8. 16. the phase change that transforms a gas into a solid; think of snow
  9. 18. a substance with a definite shape and volume; incompressible
  10. 20. the building blocks of matter; the way these behave determine the state of matter that a substance expresses
