Q

What causes a solid to melt?

A

The particles gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of attraction, this breaks the lattice structure

Q

Why does the temperatures for a solid not increase when it is melting?

A

All of the energy is being used to break the bonds (between molecules)

Q

What is it called when a solid changes directly into a gas?

A

Subliming

17
Q

Why does the temperature remain constant when freezing occurs?

A

As the process gives off heat, in order to create bonds which balances the temperature causing it to freeze

18
Q

Do impurities in a liquid cause it to boil at a lower or higher temperature than the pure liquid?

A

Lower

19
Q

What happens to most liquids when they are heated?

A

Expansion

20
Q

Is H2 an element or a molecule?

A

Both

21
Q

Describe the way which gas particles move

A

High to low concentration in a random way

22
Q

Is the dissolving of a salt in water a chemical reaction?

A

No
