1.1 The Particle Model Flashcards
(10 cards)
What are the three states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
What happens at the melting point
melting and freezing
what happens at the boiling point
boiling and condensing
How are the states of matter represented
Solid: close together, regularly arranged
Liquid: close together, random arrangement
Gas: spread apart, random arrangement
chemical changes
requires a chemical reaction
needs to be change from reactants and products
Physical changes
needs energy
change in state but no change in particles
examples of physical changes
in the particle model
melting
boiling
freezing
condensing
limitations of particle model: forces of attraction
amount of energy needed to change state depends on the strength of the forces between particles
stronger forces= higher MP and BP
limitations of the particle model: size and space
nature of particles depends on the type of bonding and structure
