Term
vaporization
Definition
the change of state from a liquid to a gas
Term
chemical Reaction
Definition
Process in which substances undergo chemical changes forming new substances with different properties
Term
chemical energy
Definition
energy coming from chemical bonds
Term
thermal energy
Definition

energy from movement of particles when temperature goes up, energy goes up heated, gain energy

cooled, loose energy

Term
Law of Conservation of energy
Definition
principle stating in every physical change and chemical change the total amount of energy stays the same
example: lighting a match
Term
evaporation
Definition
process that occurs when vaporization takes place only on the surface of a liquid
Term
boiling
Definition
process that occurs when vaporization takes place inside a liquid a long with on the surface
Term
condensation
Definition
the change of state from a gas to a liquid
Term
sublimation
Definition
change in state from a solid directly to gas without passing out passing through the liquid state
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
relationship between pressure and volume of a gas, when volume increases, pressure decreases
Term
Charle's Law
Definition
Relationship between temperature and volume of a gas, when temperature increases, volume increases
Term
gas
Definition
a state of matter with no definite shape or volume
Term
temperature
Definition
a measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance
Term
pressure
Definition
the force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface
pressure=force
area
Term
fluid
Definition
any substance able to flow
Term
viscosity
Definition
resistance of a liquid flowing
low viscosity examples: water
high viscosity examples: honey
Term
surface tension
Definition
inward force or pull among the molecules in a liquid that bring the molecules on the surface closer togethor
Term
