    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.
