How is gas defined?

• Energy in the form of heat

• Not interrupted by a break or opening

• Degree of hotness or coldness

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

What is water vapor?

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

• Water in a vaporous form especially when below boiling temperature and diffused (as in the atmosphere)

• Degree of hotness or coldness

• Energy in the form of heat

What is condensation?

• Energy in the form of heat

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

• Degree of hotness or coldness

• The conversion of a substance from the vapor state to a denser liquid or solid state usually initiated by a reduction in temperature of the vapor

What does it mean to heat something?

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

• Energy in the form of heat

• Degree of hotness or coldness

• To become warm or hot

What is convection?

• Degree of hotness or coldness

• Energy in the form of heat

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

• Movement in a gas or liquid in which the warmer parts move up and the cooler parts move down

How is conduction defined?

• Energy in the form of heat

• A fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely

• The transfer of heat through matter by communication of kinetic energy from particle to particle with no net displacement of the particles

• Degree of hotness or coldness
