Q

How are the particles arranged in a solid

A

Strong forces of attraction hold the particles close together, in a fixed, regular position.
Particles don’t have much energy so they can only vibrate about their fixed positions

Q

How are the particles arranged in a liquid

A

Weaker forces of attraction between particles.
Particles are close together, but can only move past each other, and form irregular arrangements.
They have more energy than a solid
They move in random directions at low speeds

25
How are the particles arranged in a gas
Almost no forces of attraction between the particles Particles have more energy than those in liquids and solids and are free to move Particles travel in random directions and at high speeds
26
What happens when you heat a liquid
The heat energy makes the particles move faster. When the particles eventually have enough energy to overcome their attraction to each other, big bubbles of gas form in the liquid - this is boiling
27
What happens when you heat a solid
Heat energy makes the particles vibrate faster until eventually the the forces between them are overcome and the particles start to move around - this is melting
28
The melting point of a chemical is the temperature at which it turns from a __________ to a ____________
Solid to a liquid
29
The boiling point is the temperature at which a __________ becomes a ______
Liquid becomes a gas
30
________________ is when particles escape from a liquid and become gas particles
Evaporation
31
Particles can evaporate from a liquid at temperatures that are much ____________ than the liquids boiling point
Lower
32
Particles near the surface of a liquid can escape and become gas particles if: (2)
The particles are travelling in the right direction to escape the liquid The particles are travelling fast enough (have enough KE) to overcome the attractive forces of the other particles in the liquid
33
The fastest particles (with the most KE) are the ________ likely to evaporate from the liquid - so when they do, the average speed and ___________ energy of the remaining particles decreases. This decrease in average particle energy means the temperature of the remaining liquid _________ - leaving the liquid ____________. This cooling effect can be really useful - e.g. when you sweat you cool down
Most Kinetic Falls Cooler
34
Kinetic energy is proportional to ___________________
Temperature
35
If you double the temperature (in kelvins) you double the average ____________ energy of the particles
Kinetic
36
What is brownian motion
The theory that large, heavy particles can be moved by smaller, lighter particles travelling at high speeds - which is why the appear to move around randomly.

45
What does 273K represent
Freezing point of water
46
If you increase the temperature of something, you give its particles more ____________
Energy
47
If you cool a substance down, you're _____________ the kinetic energy of the particles
Reducing
48
The coldest that anything can ever get is ___K or _______°C - this temperature is known as _______________ _______
0K or -273°C | Absolute zero
49
At absolute zero, atoms have as little ____________ energy as it's possible to get
Kinetic
50
A temperature change of 1°C is a change of ____ kelvin

51
To convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvins, just ____ 273
+273 | Add 273
52
To convert from Kelvins to degrees Celsius, just ____ 273
-273 | Subtract 273
53
Particle theory says that colliding gas particles create _____________
Pressure
54
Although gas particles are light, they do weigh something and when they collide with something they exert a ___________on it and they change direction. In a sealed container, gas particles smash against the container's walls - creating an outward ______________
Pressure | Pressure
55
Pressure depends on how ________ the particles are going and how often they hit the walls
Fast
56
If you heat a gas then the particles move faster and have more __________ energy. This increase means the particles hit the container __________ and more often, creating more ___________
Kinetic energy Harder Pressure
57
Temperature and ____________ are proportional
Pressure
58
Name 2 things that temperature is proportional to
Kinetic energy | Pressure
59
If you put the same amount of particles in a bigger container then the pressure would ____________. Why
Decrease | Because particles hit the walls less often
