Materials that are easy to deform.
Soft
Process in which the solid become a liquid.
Melting
Materials that can be deformed under tension and stretched into a wire.
Ductile
Materials that are hard to deform.
Though
Process in which the solid directly become a gas.
Sublimation
The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid.
Melting point
Change in a material from one state of matter to another.
Phase change
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas.
Boiling point
Amount of mass contained in a given volume of material.
Density
Materials that break without permanently deforming.
Brittle
Materials that can be deformed under pressure without breaking.
Malleable
Process in which the liquid become a gas.
Vaporization (Boiling)
Process in which the liquid become a solid.
Freezing
Process in which the gas become a liquid.
Condensation
Materials that can be stretched and the spring back into their original shape.
Elastic
Materials that can be deformed and stay that way.
Plastic
