Topic 2- States Of Matter ๐ Flashcards
What are the 4 states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas and plasma
What are 3 properties of a solid?
- Fixed shape
- Cannot flow
- Cannot be compressed
What are 3 properties of a liquid?
- Can flow
- Takes shape of its container
- Cannot be compressed
What are 3 properties of a gas?
- Can flow
- Completely fills container
- Can be compressed
What is the change of state from solid to liquid?
Melting
What is the change of state from solid to gas?
Sublimation
What is the change of state from liquid to gas?
Evaporation
What is the change of state from gas to liquid?
Condensing
What is the change of state from liquid to solid?
Freezing
What is the change of state from gas to solid?
Deposition
What type of energy connects the bonds which control the changes of state?
Heat
(More heat = less bonds)
How do the changes of state occur?
Energy must be transferred, by heat.
โ>Particles gain energy, which breaks bonds (melting)
What is this heat energy needed to do?
To make/break down the attractive forces between particles
โ> At melting/boiling points, energy is being exchanged so the attractive forces can be made/broken
