KPT Flashcards
1
Q
describe solid state of matter
A
D A M
- closely together
- orderly arrangement
- vibrate about fixed position
2
Q
describe liquid state of matter
A
D A M
- Further away from one another
- not orderly no fixed position
- can slide over one another
3
Q
describe gaseous state of matter
A
D A M
- very far apart
- randomly arranged
- travel at random speeds
4
Q
evaporation
A
- occurs below boiling point
- particles at the surface gain enough energy to escape into surroundings
5
Q
what happens during condensation and when does it occur
A
- occurs at boiling point
- particles lose heat and move more slowly
- forces of attraction are able to hold the particles closely
6
Q
diffusion
A
particles of matter move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration .
7
Q
rate of diffusion
A
- affected by molecular mass of particles , higher Mr = slower
- affected by temperature , higher temp = more KE = higher rate of diffusion
