The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction
Activation energy
A solid in which the particles are not arranged with periodicity or order
Amorphous acid
A molecule in an unstable state intermediate to the reactants and the products in the chemical reaction
Activated complex
The conversion of a liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as the surface of the liquid at a specific temperature and pressure
Boiling
The temperature and pressure at which a liquid and gas are in equilibrium
Boiling point
A device used to measure the energy as heat absorbed or released in a chemical or physical change
Calorimeter
The attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid, which causes the liquid to rise or fall
Capillary action
A substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or change significantly
Catalyst
The theory that states that the number of new compounds formed in a chemical reaction is equal to the number of molecules that collide, multiplied by a factor that corrects for low-energy collisions
Collision theory
A change of state from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
The temperature and pressure at which the gas and liquid states of a substance become identical a form one phase
Critical point
The lowest pressure at which a substance can exist as a liquid at the critical temperature
Critical pressure
The temperature above which a substance cannot exist in the liquid state
Critical temperature
A solid whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite pattern
Crystal
The arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a regular way to form a crystal
Crystal structure
A solid that consist of crystals
Crystalline solid
The change of state from a gas directly to a solid
Deposition
The movement of particles from regions of higher density two regions of lower density
Diffusion
The passage of a gas under pressure through a tiny opening
Effusion
A collision between ideally elastic bodies in which the final initial Connecticut energies are the same
Elastic collision
The amount of energy released word sort is heat by a system during a process at constant pressure
Enthalpy change
The energy released as heat by the complete combustion of a specific amount of a substance at constant pressure or constant volume
Enthalpy of combustion
The amount of energy released or observed as heat during a chemical reaction
Enthalpy of reaction
The state in which a chemical reaction in the reverse chemical reaction occurr at the same rate such that the concentrations of reactants and products do not change
Equilibrium
