1.
absolute zero: 0 degrees Kelvin
2.
bose-einstein condensate: a state of matter reached at very cold temperatures
3.
Boyle's Law: the pressure*volume of a gas remains proportional as long as the temperature and number of particles remain the same (PV = P2V2)
4.
Charles's Law: the volume/temperature ratio of a gas remains proportional as long as the pressure and number of gas particles remain the same (V/T = V2/T2)
5.
Combined Gas Law: combination of charles and boyle's laws (PV/T = P2V2/T2)
6.
deposition: gas -> solid
7.
endothermic: a change that occurs when matter absorbs energy from its surroundings (gets hotter)
8.
exothermic: a change that occurs when matter releases energy into its surrounding (gets cooler)
9.
gas: the state of matter in which a material has no definite shape or volume
10.
kinetic energy: the energy an object has due to its motion
11.
liquid: the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not a definite shape
12.
phase change: reversable physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one stat of matter to another
13.
plasma: a state of matter reached at extremly high temperatures- stars, fluorescent lights
14.
pressure: the result of force distributed over an area
15.
solid: the state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and definite volume
16.
sublimation: solid -> gas
17.
temperature: the average kinetic energy of the individual particles
18.
vapor: the gas form of a sustance that is usually a solid or liquid at room temperature
19.
vapor pressure: the pressure caused by the collisions of this vapor and the walls of the container
20.
vapor pressure: pressure caused by collision of the vapor into the walls of the container
