| Kinetic Theory of Matter | (The theory that states, that) the atoms in matter are in a constant state of motion. |
| (The) states of matter | Solid, Liquid, (and) Gas (are the _______ of _____) |
| (Determines the) state of matter | The motion and spacing of atoms (determines the ____ of _____) |
| (What are) molecules | Groups of atoms (are _____) |
| (What is) Pressure | Impulses generated by the collision of molecules |

| Boyle's Law | (Law) Volume of a fixed amount of gas varies inversely with the pressure of the gas. |
| Charles's Law | (Law) Volume of a fixed amount of gas varies directly with its temperature. |
| Temperature | A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. |
| Heat | Form of energy that causes the particles of matter to move faster and farther apart. |
| Specific Heat (of a substance) | The heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram by 1 degree. |
| Phase Change | The physical change of a substance from one state to another. |
| Latent heat | The heat energy needed per unit mass to change the phase of a substance. |
