Particle Model Matter Flashcards
solids
Particles close together and arranged in a regular pattern, vibrate but don’t move
Liquids
Close together but particles not arranged in a regular pattern and can move around
Gases
Particles very far apart and not arranged in any pattern and move around rapidly
Density
Density (kg/m cubed) = mass (kg)/ volume (m cubed)
Density for a solid
High density because particles are packed closely together they gave a lot of mass
Liquid density
Usually have a high density because the particles are close together liquids have a lot of mass for their volume
Gases density
Low because particles are very far apart so gasss have a small mass for their volume
Polystyrene
A solid but has a low density because it has a very open structure and full of air spaces so it has a small mass for its volume
Density
The mass for a given volume
What is displacement method ?
Used to calculate density of irregular objects
Eureka can
Has a spout so water can flow out. used to measure the volume
Internal energy
Energy stored in a system by the particles
If u heat a solid…
We increase the internal energy
If we cool the gas down….
We reduce the internal energy
Change of state
Melting, boiling, freezing, condensation
A solid turning directly to gas
Sublimation
When changes of state take place mass is always…
Conserved. Not adding or taking away any particles
Changes of state are what changes?
Physical changes(not chemical changes)
Evaporation
When a liquid turns to a gas but only on the surface of the liquid
Regular objects
Easy to measure
Irregular objects
Aren’t easily measurable
Internal energy
The energy stored in a system of particles
Total kinetic energy and potential energy of all the par lies that make up a system
Particles include
Atoms and molecules
If we heat a solid
We increase internal energy and some point it turns to liquid
