What are 3 states of matter
Liquid
Solid
Gas
What is the melting point
The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid
What is the boiling point
The temperature at which the particles gain enough energy to change from a liquid to a gas
What does the amount of energy needed to break bonds to change state depend on?
Strength of forces between particles of substance
The stronger the forces between particles…
The higher the m.p. and b.p. of substance
What does (aq) stand for
Aqueous solution
(g) meanning
Gas
(l) meanning
Liquid
(s) meanning
Solid
Describe properties of gas particles
- widely spaced
- movement of particles: in random directions at random speed
- collisions are frequent and elastic
- weak forces between particles
- have highest energy
Describe properties of liquid particles
- closely spaced but still in constant motion
-therefore constantly colliding - forces between particles are weaker than in solid
- randomly arranged
- move around eachother
- can flow and take shape of container
Describe solid particles
Solid particles can only vibrate in a fixed position
- low energy
- regular pattern
- cannot be compressed
How do you turn: solid into liquid
Melting
How do you turn: liquid into gas
Evaporating/ boiling
How do you turn: gas into liquid
Condensing
How do you turn: liquid into solid
Freezing
How do you turn: gas to solid or solid to gas
Sublimation
Example of sublimation
Solid carbon dioxide ( dry ice) and Iodine
How do substances change state
Energy must be transferred
How do substances melt. Explain in terms of energy
- particles gain energy- heating
- bonds are broken between particles
What happens when a substance boils or evaporates.
Forces of attraction between particles are overcome
The stronger the forces of attraction…
The more energy Is required to overcome forces
What happens to particles during condensation and freezing
- Energy is transferred from substance to surroundings
- This is because the forces of attraction between the particles get stronger
How do you know if a substance is solid when given its temperature
Given temperature < melting point
= solid
