The three states of matter are: solid, liquid and gas Solids have a definite mass, shape and volume. Liquids have a definite mass and volume, but not a definite shape. Gases have a definite mass, but not a definite shape or volume. Capacity: amount of something that a container can hold. Gas expansion: when a gas occupies more volume because the distance between its particles increases. Gas compression: when a gas occupies less volume because the distance between its particles decreases. Melting: the change of state from solid to liquid Melting point: the temperature at which a solid melts. Vaporization: the change of state from a liquid to a gas
Evaporation: vaporization that occurs at any temperature and only on the surface of the liquid Boiling: vaporization that occurs when a liquid is heated to a specific temperature so that all the liquid vaporizes. Boiling point: temperature at which a substance boils. Steam: vapour form boiling water. Condensation: the change of state from a gas to a liquid. Condensation point: temperature at which a gas starts to condense into a liquid. Freezing: the change of state from a liquid to a solid. The freezing point is the same as its melting point for every substance. Sublimination: the change of state from a solid to a gas. Deposition: the change of state from a gas to a solid.
