Savvas Chemistry Vocabulary (8th Grade)
Solid: firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid
Crystalline solid: defined edges and faces; sharp melting point
Amorphous solid: curved or irregular; wide-ranged melting point
Liquid: a substance that flows freely but is consistent with volume
Fluid: substance with no fixed shape, yields to extreme pressure; gas/liquid
Surface tension: tension between. liquid cause by attraction
Viscosity: thick, sticky, semi fluid in consistency from internal friction
Gas: a gaseous substance that cannot be liquified by pressure alone
Pressure: the force exerted per unit area
Melting: becoming liquified by heat
Melting point: the temperature at which a given solid melts
Freezing: below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius); very cold; liquid turning to solid
Vaporization: solid/liquid turning to gas
Evaporation: transitions from liquid to gas from temperature
Boiling point: temperature at which liquid changes to vapor
Condensation: process of vapor turning to liquid
Sublimation: transition where a solid turns to gas.
Charles law: experimental gas law about gases expanding when heated
Directly proportional: if one goes up, the other goes up equally; when one goes down, the other goes down equally
Boyles law: reaction concerning compression and expansion of gas at a constant temperature
Inversely proportional: when one increases, the other decreases equally at which the other increased; when one decreases the other increases equally at which the other decreased
