What is sublimation?
The state change of…
A gas to a solid or solid to a gas
What is freezing?
The state change of…
A liquid to a solid
What is condensing?
The state change of…
a gas to a liquid
What is melting?
The state change of…
A solid to a liquid
What is boiling/evaporating?
The state change of…
A liquid to a gas
Arrange the states in order of movement starting with the least moving thing.
Solid, liquid, gas.
Arrange the states in order of energy starting with the most energetic thing.
Gas, liquid, solid
How does a solid’s particles move?
They cannot ‘move’ but they can vibrate.
How does a liquid’s particles move?
They vibrate and move around but they still touch each other. They have more freedom of movement than solids.
How does a gas’s particles move?
They are free to move and fill the area they are contained in. They travel very fast but bump into a lot of particles a lot of times.

What do the particles do when…
A solid turns into a liquid?
–The particles gain more energy.
–The particles spread out more, they take up more space.
–The particles move about more, but they are still touching each other.
What do the particles do when…
A liquid turns into a gas?
–The particles gain more energy.
–The particles spread out lots more, they take up the most space they can.
–The particles move about loads more, and can travel very fast.
What do the particles do when…
A gas turns into a liquid?
–The particles lose energy.
–The particles condense more, they take up less space.
–The particles move about less, and they touch each other.
What do the particles do when…
A liquid turns into a solid?
–The particles lose energy.
–The space between the particles condenses, they take up the least space.
–The particles move about less, they only vibrate slightly.
