Study Notes
Energy Transfer and Temperature
- Energy transfer to a substance results in a gain of energy, causing the atoms/molecules to move faster and the temperature to increase.
- Energy transfer from a substance results in a loss of energy, causing the atoms/molecules to move slower and the temperature to decrease.
- Temperature is a measurement of the average speed of atoms/molecules.
Particle Movement and Volume
- When particles move faster, the collisions are stronger and more frequent, causing the atoms/molecules to spread further apart and the volume of the substance to increase.
- When particles move slower, the collisions are weaker and less frequent, causing the atoms/molecules to get closer together and the volume of the substance to decrease.
- The atoms/molecules themselves do not expand or shrink.
Gas Properties
- Gaseous atoms/molecules travel in straight lines until they collide with each other or an object, causing their direction to change.
- Gaseous particles travel in all directions, allowing them to reach our noses and be detected if they have an odor.
Phase Changes
- Evaporation occurs when molecules at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state.
- Evaporation can occur at any temperature, but the warmer something is, the faster evaporation occurs.
- Boiling occurs when molecules throughout the liquid gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state.
- The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which molecules throughout the liquid can change to the gaseous state.
- Condensation occurs when molecules in the gaseous state slow down and become a liquid, often happening when the gas comes in contact with a cool surface.
