    Study Notes

    Particle Theory of Matter

    • All matter is made of tiny particles.
    • Particles are in constant motion.
    • There are spaces between particles.
    • Particles attract each other.

    Effect of Temperature on Particles

    • Heating a substance makes particles move faster and spread apart (thermal expansion).
    • Cooling a substance makes particles move slower and come closer together.

    States of Matter

    • Solids: Definite shape, particles vibrate in place, strong attraction.
    • Liquids: No definite shape, particles can slide past each other, weaker attraction than solids.
    • Gases: No definite shape, particles are far apart, very weak attraction, fill the container.
    • Plasma: Similar to a gas, but atoms break apart into ions and electrons due to high heat; no definite shape.

    Volume

    • Solids, liquids, and gases all have a definite volume.

    Fluids

    • Fluids are substances that flow (liquids and gases).
    • Solids do not flow (particles tightly packed).
    • Liquids flow due to particles sliding past each other.
    • Gases flow due to particles being far apart and moving freely.
    • Some solids also exhibit fluid-like behavior under strong forces (e.g., glaciers).
    • Fluids can hold other materials (e.g., cytoplasm in cells, fire retardant).
    • Fluids can be turned into solids (e.g., concrete, steel).

    Measuring Fluid Flow

    • Flow rate is volume per unit time (e.g., L/s).
    • Factors affecting flow rate:
      • Particle attraction (cohesion)
      • Particle size and shape
      • Temperature (higher temp usually leads to faster flow)
      • Fluid type (viscosity - thicker fluids flow slower)
      • Container size (larger openings allow faster flow)
      • Surface type (smooth surfaces lead to faster flow)

    Laminar Flow

    • Smooth, regular flow (orderly lines).
    • Faster movement, less energy needed, efficient in pipes.
    • Less fluid mixing.
    • Limited to low speeds.

    Turbulent Flow

    • Irregular, chaotic, mixing flow.
    • Fluid mixing and oxygenation.
    • Resistance and energy loss (drag).
    • Erosion, potentially leading to damage.
    • Possible health risks in the body (blood clots).

    Viscosity, Cohesion, and Adhesion

    • Viscosity: Measure of how easily a fluid can flow (thickness).
      • High viscosity = thick fluid, flows slowly.
      • Low viscosity = thin fluid, flows quickly.
    • Cohesion: Attraction between particles of the same substance.
      • Higher cohesion = stronger attraction, thicker fluid.
    • Adhesion: Attraction between particles of different substances.
      • Example: water sticking to glass (meniscus).
      • Related to surface tension, which is the force pulling surface particles together (creating a "skin").
