  1. 1. Below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) a phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.
  2. 3. In which atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular well-defined arrangement.
  3. 5. The change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase: the opposite or reverse of vaporization.
  4. 7. The rapid vaporization of a liquid which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.
  5. 9. The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state.
  6. 10. The temperature at which a given solid will melt
  7. 13. The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor.
  8. 14. A substance that has no fixed shape an yields easily to external pressure; a gas or (especially) a liquid.
  9. 15. A state of matter that retains it's shape and density when not confined. Molecules are tightly packed together and contain the least amount of kinetic energy.

  1. 2. The process by which a liquid turns into a gas/vapor.
  2. 4. A phase transition from the liquid phase vapor. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.
  3. 6. And noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern.
  4. 8. Or a fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid.
  5. 11. A substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
  6. 12. A substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid)
