2. a central idea of chemistry that states particles of matter are in constant motion (2 words)
4. a substance with no distinct shape; easily directed by outside forces
6. the phase change that transforms a liquid into a gas
11. the amount of space that a substance occupies
14. the phase change that transforms a solid into a liquid
15. the phase change that transforms a gas into a solid; think of snow
16. a substance with an indefinite shape and volume; compressible
17. the phase change that transforms a solid into a gas; think of dry ice
18. a substance with an indefinite shape but definite volume; incompressible;
19. the measure of whether or not a substance decreases its volume when pressure is applied

1. a factor that allows matter to change states; revolves around forcing atoms towards or away from each other
3. this is how many MAJOR states of matter are naturally found in the observable universe
5. the phase change that transforms a gas into a liquid
7. a gas that originates from a liquid or solid
