general chemistry 2

• heating a solid structure increases the kinetic energy of the particles until solid structure breaks down


  melting
• temperature which the solid melts to form the liquid


  melting point
• removing heat from a cooling a liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the particles until they are unable to move and remain in fixed position

  freezing
• the temperature at which the liquid freezes to form the solid 


  freezing point
• the particles that escape enter the vapor and gas phase above the liquid


  evaporation or vaporization
• the liquid will begin to boil and the temperature which occurs is known as the...

  boiling point
• the reverse process of evaporation, also happens as particles in the vapor phase are cooled

  condensation
• is peculiar since the solid phase passes directly into the gas phase


  sublimation
• the change from the gas to solid phase without passing the liquid phase

  deposition
