Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|

| gas | a state of matter with neither definite shape nor volume |
| liquid | a state of matter with a definite volume but without definite shape |
| cation | a positively charged ion |
| anion | a negatively charged ion |
| exothermic | a process where energy is released |
| endothermic | a process where energy is received |
| phase change | the change from one phase to another |
| vapor pressure | the pressure exerted by vapor in a closed system |
| metallic bond | any charged particle where (+) or (-) |
| vaporization | a phase change from liquid to gas |
| sublimation | a phase change from solid to gas |
| condensation | a phase change from gas to liquid |
| fusion | a phase change from solid to liquid (melting) |

| Boyle's law | a gas law that states when temperature remains constant the pressure and volume are inversely proportional V1P1=V2P2 |
| Charles' law | a glass law that states when pressure remains constant, the volume and temperature are directly proportional V1/T1=V2/T2 |
