the temperature at which the pressure of the vapor in the liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid.

Image: Boiling Point

ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in the fluid.

Image: Buoyancy

temperature at which a gas becomes a liquid

Image: Condensation

spreading of particles throughout a given volume until they are uniformly distributed.

Image: Diffusion

vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid and can occur at temperatures below the liquid's boiling point.

Image: Evaporation

amount of energy required to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase.

Heat of Vaporization

amount of energy required for liquid particles to escape the attractive forces within the liquid or the energy required to change from a liquid to a gas.

explanation of behavior of molecules of matter; states that all matter is made of constantly moving particles that collide without losing energy.

Image: Kinetic Theory

temperature at which a solid begins to liquefy.

Image: Melting Point

high temperature gas with an overall neutral charge that is the most common state of matter in the universe.

Image: Plasma

temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a gas

Image: Sublimation

a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object.

Image: Temperature

Thermal Expansion

increase in size of a substance that results from the separation of its molecules when the temperature is increased.

Image: Thermal Expansion

a fluid's resistance to flow.
