Very close
Closeness of particles in a liquid
Close
Closeness of particles in a gas
Far apart
Process of changes of state
-Solid is heated → its particles gain more energy
-Particles vibrate more so weakens the forces that hold the solid together → solid expands
-At a certain temp → particles have enough energy to break free from their positions → melting & solid turns into a liquid
-When a liquid is heated → particles get even more energy
-Makes the particles move faster → weakens & breaks the bonds holding the liquid together
-At a certain temp → particles have enough energy to break their bonds → evaporating & liquid turns into a gas

Deposition
Diffusion in liquids: Diffusion of Potassium Manganate (VII) in water over time
-If you take a beaker of water & place some Potassium Manganate (VII) at the bottom → purple colour slowly spreads out to fill the beaker
-Because the particles of Potassium Manganate (VII) are diffusing out among the particles of water
-Random motion of particles in a liquid → cause purple colour to eventually be evenly spread out through the water
-If you were to add more water to the purple solution → K2MnO4 particles would spread even further apart & solution would be less purple → dilution
Diffusion of gases: Ammonia & Hydrogen Chloride
-Aqueous ammonia (NH3) gives off ammonia gas, HCL gives off hydrogen chloride gas → white ring of ammonium chloride forming in the glass tube
-NH3 gas diffuses from one end of the tube & the HCL gas diffuses from the other → they meet & react to form ammonium chloride
-Ring doesn’t form exactly in the middle → it forms nearest the tube where the hydrochloric acid was
-Because the particles of ammonia are smaller & lighter than the particles of hydrogen chloride → so they diffuse through the air more quickly
Diffusion of gases: Bromine Gas & Air
-Bromine gas = brown/strong smelling gas
-Fill half a gas jar full of bromine gas & the other half full of air → separate gases with a glass plate
-Remove the glass plate → you’ll see the brown bromine gas slowly diffusing through the air
-Random motion of particles → bromine will eventually diffuse right through the air
Solution
The mixture formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent
Solute
The substance being dissolved
