states of matter. Flashcards
(10 cards)
Whats melting?
Heating solid →more energy in particles →particles vibrate more→Particles start to break from fixed positions and move around each other.
What’s Boiling?
Heating liquid→More energy in particle→particles move more→Individual particles start to break free of the structure and move quickly.
Boiling vs. Evaporation
Particles can evaporate from the surface of a liquid at any temperature. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature when evaporation happens within the liquid.
Whats Condensing?
Cooling
↓
Decreased energy
↓
Particles move less
↓
Particles get close together, and move around each other.
Whats freezing?
Cooling
↓
Decreased energy
↓
Particles move less
↓
Particles cannot move around
Only vibrate at a fixed position
Which state has particles at fixed positions?
