Lesson 15 Flashcards
Can molecules go from a solid state to a gaseous state?
Yes- some molecules move fast enough going right to the gaseous state
Deposition
Gas changing to a solid state, skipping the liquid phase
This is the opposite of sublimation!
What is melting point?
The point where a solid begins to turn into a liquid
Sublimation
When a substance changes from solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase
Condensation
When a substance changes from gaseous state to liquid state
Think dew on grass in the morning.
What is boiling point?
The point where a liquid turns to a gas
True/False
The melting point of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes
True-Look at it this way, if you have a chocolate kiss and add five more the melting point will still be the same.
Molecules in liquids and gases
Have no fixed positions and move randomly.
Molecules in solids
Vibrate in place
True/False
When water vapor molecules speed up, they can change from gas and turn solid
False
