Answer 1

a) Amorphous solid: a non- crystal solid which lacks the order characteristics of a crystal solid.

k) Molality: The measurement of the solute in a specified mass of a solvent.

b) Colligative property: Properties which depend on the concentration of a solute.

l) Molarity: The number of moles of solute in a solvent (l).

c) Colloid: A substance which is homogeneous but not a crystal.

m) non electrolyte: A substance which does not conduct electricity.

d) condensation: Changing of gas into liquid.

e) Critical point: End point of a phase equilibrium curve.

o) Strong electrolyte: A strong electrically conducting solution made by a substance.

p) sublimation: the change of a substance from gas to solid directly.
