freedom of movement
the way molecules in a substance move around relative to each other
molecular attraction
a pull between two molecules that is always the same for a substance
molecule
a group of atoms joined together in a particular way
phase
a noticeably different form or state of the same substance
refute
to provide evidence that goes against a claim

temperature
a measure of how hot or cold something is
What is the molecular attraction of a gas?
Low molecular attraction
What's a solid?
Firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.
What's a liquid?
A substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
What's a gas?
A substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume
What are molecules?
A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
What is condensation?
Water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
What is evaporation?
The process of turning from liquid into vapor.
What causes a solid to melt?
Melting is a process that causes a substance to change from a solid to a liquid. (When energy is added to the system)
What is it called when a gas turns into a solid?
Deposition
What is it called when a liquid turns into a solid?
Freezing
What is it called when molecules move around each other?
Liquid
What is the process of a solid turning into a gas?
Sublimation
kinetic energy
the energy that an object has because it is moving
