Solid

A form of matter that has a definite shape and volume

Liquid

the state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape

Gas

A state of matter with no definite shape or volume

Conservation of Matter

principle stating that no matter is created or destroyed during a reaction

constant

A value that does not change

Dissolving

a physical change in which particles of a substance are separated by water particles

Evaporation

the change of state from liquid to gas at the surface of a liquid

Mass

the amount of matter in an object

Melting

solid to liquid

phase change

a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition

States of Matter

solid, liquid, gas

property

Characteristic used to describe something

Volume

The amount of space an object takes up

Weight

A measure of the force of gravity on an object

chemical change

A change in matter that produces one or more new substances

physical change

A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance

plasma

A state of matter consisting of charged particles with very high kinetic energy, typically found in stars and neon signs.

Deposition

The process in which a gas transitions directly into a solid without passing through the liquid phase, often seen in frost formation.

Adding thermal energy makes particles

move faster and spread apart.
