Solid

● Definite shape and volume

● Kinetic energy (speed) - vibrates in place
● Particle movements - vibrates & can’t move position
● Forces attraction - Strong nuclear forces

Liquid

● No definite shape, but definite volume

● Moves faster & flow past each other
● Flows & takes the shape of its container
● Weaker nuclear forces

Gas

● No definite shape & volume

● High energy, move faster colliding with more force
● Fast moving, move freely & will expand to fill a container of any size & shape
● Extremely weak nuclear forces

Plasma

● No definite shape & volume

● Greatest energy
● Fastest moving
● Little to none

BEC (Bose-Einstein condensate)

● Super Atom, all atoms act as one & definite volume

● Little to no vibration
● Little to none
● Strongest nuclear forces
Freezing - (States Involved) Liquid to Solid, (Thermal (Heat) Energy) Decreasing, (Molecular Movement) Decreasing,

(Forces of Attraction) Increasing, Exothermic

Melting - Solid to Liquid, Increasing, Increasing, Decreasing, Endothermic

Condensation - Gas to Liquid, Decreasing, Decreasing, Increasing, Exothermic

Vaporization - Liquid to Gas, Increasing, Increasing, Decreasing, Endothermic

Deposition - Gas to Solid, Decreasing, Decreasing, Increasing, Exothermic

Sublimation - Solid to Gas, Increasing, Increasing, Decreasing, Endothermic

In Phase change the temperature doesn’t change until entire substance changes state cuz the thermal energy is

being absorbed to decrease the forces of attraction or released to increase the forces of attraction. When happens

the temperature or average kinetic energy doesn’t change until all of the forces of attraction regulate.

In phase change the thermal (heat) energy is changing. Either increasing to lessen the forces of attraction or

decreasing to strengthen the forces of attraction depending upon the phase change itself. This energy is either

absorbed or removed to change the forces of attraction.

Kelvin scale-a scale of temperature in what absolute zero is zero & kelvins are used as units

Absolute zero-a temperature of 0 kelvins

Heat of fusion-the energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid

Heat of vaporization-the energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas

Temperature-a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point
