What is needed for a substance to change states
A change in temperature
What are the three common states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
What happens to the particles in a substance as the substance changes states
Particles and objects move around so when they change state, they change how far or close together they are.
solids - particles only vibrates and are very close together
Liquids - particles vibrate as they move past one another and are far apart
gases - particles move quickly and are the farthest apart
Explain what happens to the particles in a solid as it melts to a liquid
When a Solid gains enough heat, it’s particles start moving too fast to stay together. The close particles move apart. A solid then changes into a liquid.
Condensation
Changing of a gas to a liquid
Melting
When a solid changes to a liquid as a result of adding heat
Freezing
When a liquid changes to a solid by removing heat
Evaporating
Change of a liquid into a gas below the boiling point
Know the he “How matter can change state” diagram (p 54)
SOLID < (freeze) < LIQUID < (Condense) < GAS
SOLID > (Melt) > LIQUID > (evaporate) > GAS
What are examples of boiling points of metals and nonmetals
The boiling point of copper is 2567°C
the melting point of copper is 1083°C
The boiling point of iron is 2861°C
the melting point of iron is 1538°C
The boiling point of water is 100°C
The melting point of water is 0°C
Boiling point of table salt is 1465°C
The melting point of table salt is 801°C
What are the boiling points of metals and nonmetals?
?????
Do water molecules take up more space as a solid than as a liquid
Yes
What is more dense than liquid water or solid water?
Liquid water is more dense than ice
What are the signs of a chemical change
A chemical change takes place when atoms link together in new ways to create substances different from the original substances. Signs of a chemical change are: changes in color, forms tarnish, releases gas, forms of precipitate, releases energy
Be able to tell the difference between a chemical or physical change with examples given
A physical change is only a change of state. Ex: water is still water when it changes from a solid to a liquid then a gas.
A chemical change is when a material changes into something different Ex: vinegar changes into something else when you add baking soda to it. The bubbles from a chemical reaction and create a solid called sodium acetate
