17
Q

What is freezing?

A

When a liquid turns into a solid

18
Q

How does freezing happen?

A

Cooling down a liquid until the particles slow down, vibrating close together, making the particle arrangement into a solid

19
Q

What is melting?

A

A change from a solid to a liquid

20
Q

How does melting happen?

A

When the solid particles get extra energy, making them vibrate faster and faster to break away from it’s fixed position. Making them move freely over each other, turning into a liquid

21
Q

What is evaporation?

A

A change from liquid to gas

22
Q

What is the difference from evaporation and boiling?

A

Evaporation can happen at any temperature

23
Q

Why does evaporation happen?

A

Different particles in a liquid have different amounts of energy

24
Q

What happens in evaporation, when the particles gain enough energy to break free?

A

The physical state will become a gas

25
What physical state changes from a gas to a liquid?
Condensation
26
What state can change from a liquid to a solid?
Freezing
27
What are the disadvanteges of the simple sphere model?
- Forces between particles not shown - Shows particles as spheres - Shows particles as solids
28
Can solids be compressed?
Solids cannot be compressed because the particles are already as close it can get
29
Can liquids be compressed?
Generally not, but if forced enough it can be compressed a tiny bit
30
Can gases be compressed?
Can be easily compressed
31
Why can gases be easily compressed?
There are large spaces between the particles
32
Can gases change shape?
They can change shape and fit their shape to any container or space
33
Can liquids change shape?
It can flow and change shape to fit any shape of a container
34
Can solids have a fixed shape?
If you put them in another container they will not change making it a fixed shape
35
What is the symbol (s) used for?
solids
36
What is the symbol (I) used for?
pure liquids
37
What is the symbol (aq) used for?
aqueous solutions (substances dissolved in water)
38
What is the symbol (g) used for?
Gases
39
What is vapor pressure?
When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape
40
What is intermolecular forces?
Broken during vaporization
