Unit 1 Lesson 6 Flashcards
(7 cards)
What happens when matter changes state?
Energy is gained and lost
The motion of the particles change
The total amount of energy is conserved
Freezing
Freezing point
When a liquid becomes a solid
The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid
Melting
Melting point
Change of state from solid to a liquid
The temperature at which a solid changes from a solid to a liquid
Evaporation
Boiling
Boiling point
Change from a liquid to a gas ( at the surface)
Rapid change from a liquid to a gas ( throughout the liquid)
The temperature at which a liquid starts to bubble or boil.
(THE GREATER THE AIR PRESSURE, THE HIGHER THE BOILING POINT OF A LIQUID)
Condensation
Change of state from a gas to a liquid
Sublimation
Deposition
Change from a solid directly to a gas
Example: dry ice which is frozen carbon dioxide
When solid iodine is heated, it becomes a purple gas
Change from a gas directly to a solid
Example: water vapor to ice crystals
What happens to matter when a change of state occurs?
The energy of the particles changes
The movement of the particles changes
The distance between the particles changes
***The mass does not change
