changes of state and states of matter Flashcards
solid to liquid
melting
liquid to solid
freezing
liquid to gas
evaporating
gas to liquid
condensing
solid to gas
subliming
solids
- strong attractive forces between particles.
- form a regular lattice arrangement
- definite shape and volume
- vibrate (the hotter it becomes, the more it vibrates)
- don’t move from positions
Liquids
- weak attractive force between particles
- randomly arranged but stick together
- slide through each other
- definite volume but no definite shape
- constant movement but random motion. The Hotter the liquid, the faster
Gases
- Attractive force weak, free to move far apart
- particles move in straight lines.
- no volume, no shape.
- the hotter the gas, the faster the particles will move.
- constant random motion.
three states of matter
Solids liquids gases- all matter exists as one of these
particle theory
How the particles are arranged and how they move in each of the states of matter.
solids- distance
packed together closely
solids- energy
a little amount of energy.
solids movement
due to the small amount of energy, the particles can only vibrate around a fixed position.
liquid- distance
packed closely together
liquid- energy
enough energy to move randomly in any direction within the liquid.
liquid- movement
slide through each other, random movement, any direction
gas- distance
far apart
gas - energy
have enough energy to move quickly in any direction within the container.
gas- movement
quickly any direction.
A change of state happens when
when energy is taken away or added to the state of matter.
