Chap 7 Flashcards
SOLID structure, motion, shape, volume, density, compressibility
-Very closely packed in orderly manner
-Vibrate in a fixed position
-Fixed Shape
-Fixed volume
-High density
-Incompressible
LIQUID structure, motion, shape, volume, density, compressibility
-closely packed in random manner
-slide over one another randomly
-takes shape of container
-fixed volume
-relatively high density
-incompressible
GAS structure, motion, shape, volume, density, compressibility
-Very far apart
-Moves freely at high speeds randomly
-no fixed shape
-low density
-compressible
Why temperature remains constant during melting
Average kinetic is constant. Work is done to overcome attractive forces. Separation increases and potential energy of molecules increases.
Why temperature remains constant during boiling
Internal kinetic is constant. Work is done to overcome attractive forces and push back atmosphere to escape as gas.
