Study Notes
Heating and Cooling
- Heating a substance means energy is transferred to the substance, resulting in energy gain.
- Cooling a substance means energy is transferred from the substance, resulting in energy loss.
- Energy transfer to/from a substance changes the speed of its atoms/molecules, detected as a temperature change.
Temperature and Atomic Motion
- Temperature is a measurement of the average speed of atoms/molecules.
- Faster atomic motion results in a higher temperature.
- Slower atomic motion results in a lower temperature.
Effects of Heating and Cooling
- When a substance is warmed, atoms/molecules gain energy, move faster, and collide more strongly and frequently.
- As a result, the substance expands, and its volume increases.
- When a substance is cooled, atoms/molecules lose energy, move slower, and collide less strongly and frequently.
- As a result, the substance compresses, and its volume decreases.
Atomic Size and Expansion
- Atoms/molecules themselves do not expand or shrink during heating and cooling.
- Only the arrangement of atoms/molecules changes, affecting the substance's volume.
