gas
What are the three states of matter?
solid, liquid and gas
Molecules in a _______ do not move, but rather, vibrate.
solid
Molecules in a _____move slowly.
liquid
Molecules in a ____ move the fastest.
gas

liquid
Explain how evaporation works with the states of matter.
When heat is added to a liquid, the molecules of the liquid begin to move faster and further apart, cause the liquid to turn to a gas.
_____ is a change in state from a solid to a liquid.
melting
____ changes a substance from a liquid to a gas.
boiling
_____ changes a substance from a liquid to a solid.
freezing
________ occurs when particles escape from a nonboiling liquid and become a gas.
evaporation
______ changes a substance from a gas to a liquid.
