PARTICLE MODEL OF MATTER Flashcards
DENSITY (KG/M3)= INCLUDE UNITS
MASS(KG) /VOLUME (M3)
A dense material has its particles…
packed tightly together
a less dense material has its particles…..
spread out
what happens when you compress a material
the particles of the material would move closer together making it more dense
SOLIDS ARE
strong forces of attraction hold the particles close together in a fixed regular arrangement. The particles don’t have much energy so the particles vibrate in fixed positions. The density is the highest because the particles are close together
LIQUIDS
there are weaker forces of attraction between the particles. The particles are close together but can move past each other and form irregular arrangements they have more energy than the particles in a solid and they move in random directions at low speeds
GASES
there are almost no forces of attraction between the particles. The particles have more energy than in liquids and solids theyre free to move and travel in random directions at high speeds. Gases are less dense.
what is internal energy
internal energy is the total energy that its particles have in their kinetic and potential energy stores
where is energy stored in a system
in its particles
what happens when you heat a system
heating a system transfers energy to its particles in which they gain energy in their kinetic stores and move faster therefore increasing its internal energy. This leads to a change in temperature or state because there is enough energy in its kinetic energy store to break the bonds holding it together
is mass lost when their is a change of state
NO there isn’t mass is conserved
Explain how heating a solid causes a change in state
Heating the solid transfers energy to the kinetic energy stores of the particles. when the particles have enough energy in their kinetic energy stores they can break the bonds holding them together making the solid change state to a liquid
what is sublimation
solid to gas in one step
what is specific latent heat
is the amount of energy needed to change 1kg of the substance from one state to another
either solid and a liquid (fusion)
or liquid and a gas (vaporisation)
what is the specific latent heat for changing between a solid and a liquid
specific latent heat of fusion
