atom

smallest particles of matter, with the properties of that matter

condense

to change from a gas to a liquid

evaporate

to change from a liquid to a gas

freeze

to change from a liquid to a solid

gas

matter that does not have a definite shape or volume

liquid

matter that takes the shape of its container and does have a definite volume

matter

anything that has mass and takes up space

physical change

when matter changes its size, shape or form

physical property

things that can be measured by the 5 senses

solid

matter that has a set shape and volume

thermal energy

energy of moving particles and it causes heat

name the properties of a solid

set shape and volume, takes up space

name the properties of a liquid

takes the shape of its container, has a definite volume

name the properties of a gas

no set shape, no set volume

list 2 ways to change matter

add thermal energy (heat or melt), take away thermal energy (freeze)

explain the process of melting

you add thermal energy which will turn a solid into a liquid

explain the process of evaporation

add enough thermal energy to make the liquid change into a gas

explain the process of freezing

take away so much thermal energy that the particles slow down and a liquid becomes a solid
