Study Notes
States of Matter
- Gas: Molecules move freely, have no definite shape or volume.
- Liquid: Molecules take the shape of their container, have a definite volume but no definite shape.
- Solid: Molecules are held in a defined shape, with both definite shape and volume.
- Plasma: Found in stars, matter has no definite shape or volume.
Phase Changes
- Boiling Point: Water boils at 100°C (212°F) at sea level; boiling point decreases with altitude due to lower air pressure.
- Freezing Point: Water freezes and ice melts at 0°C (32°F) at sea level.
- Melting: Transition from solid to liquid, happens at the melting point.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid, occurs at the freezing point.
- Condensation: Formation of small water droplets when warm air contacts a cold surface.
Effects of Temperature and Altitude
- Temperature: Key factor for phase changes; determines molecule movement and state.
- Altitude: Higher altitudes result in lower boiling points due to reduced pressure, making cooking in water longer.
Characteristics of Matter
- Matter is comprised of tiny particles called atoms.
- Identifying properties include temperature, hardness, color, and length.
- Atoms in gas move fast and bounce around; atoms in liquids slide past each other; atoms in solids move slowly and only vibrate.
Bubbles and Matter
- Bubbles contain invisible forms of water a gas, formed as heat energy converts water into gas bubbles during phase changes.
- Bubbles rise and pop at the water surface, releasing water into the air.
Importance of Pressure
- Pressure and temperature are interconnected; increased temperature results in faster-moving molecules and higher pressure.
Ways to Demonstrate Gas Matter
- Filling a balloon, inflating a soccer ball, or blowing up a pool toy showcases gas as matter through the incorporation of air.
