|
A solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.
|
|
|
Amorphous Solid
|
A solid made up of particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.
|
|
|
Liquid
|
A state of matter that has no definite shape but does have a definite volume.
|

Fluid
|
A substance that can easily flow.
|
|
|
Surface Tension
|
The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together.

|
|
Condensation
|
The change from the gaseous to the liquid state of matter.

A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose graph is a straight line passing through the point (0, 0).
|
|
|
Vary Inversely
|
A term used to describe a relationship between two variables whose graph that curves that slopes downward.
