States of Matter: Fast and Curious

Front

What is an exothermic phase change?

Back

A phase change that occurs when energy is removed or released from a material, such as freezing or condensation.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

The phase change when a gas turns into a liquid.

Front

What is vaporization?

Back

The phase change from a liquid to a gas.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

The phase change from a gas directly to a solid.

Front

What is freezing?

Back

The phase change from a liquid to a solid.

Front

What is an endothermic phase change?

Back

A phase change that occurs when energy is absorbed by a material, such as melting or vaporization.

Front

What is melting?

Back

The phase change from a solid to a liquid.

Front

What is sublimation?

Back

The phase change from a solid directly to a gas.

Front

What is boiling?

Back

The phase change from a liquid to a gas that occurs throughout the liquid.

Front

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Back

Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid at any temperature, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid at a specific temperature.
