Across
- 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.
- 3. In which atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular well-defined arrangement.
- 5. The change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase: the opposite or reverse of vaporization.
- 7. The rapid vaporization of a liquid which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.
- 9. The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state.
- 10. The temperature at which a given solid will melt
- 13. The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor.
- 14. A substance that has no fixed shape an yields easily to external pressure; a gas or (especially) a liquid.
- 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.

- 2. The process by which a liquid turns into a gas/vapor.
- 4. A phase transition from the liquid phase vapor. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.
- 6. And noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern.
- 8. Or a fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid.
- 11. A substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
- 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)
