Study Notes
Kinetic Theory of Matter
- Molecules are in constant motion, forming the basis of the kinetic theory of matter.
- Kinetic energy is measured using a thermometer, indicating temperature.
- Higher internal energy in a material results in an elevated temperature.
Heat and Temperature
- Heat refers to the energy flow between objects at different temperatures.
- Heat and temperature are distinct concepts; they are not interchangeable.
Brownian Motion
- Brownian motion describes the erratic movement of visible particles caused by invisible particles colliding with them.
Phases of Matter
- Solid: Has a definite volume and shape; molecules are tightly packed and move slowly.
- Liquid: Has a definite volume but no fixed shape; molecules are loosely packed and able to flow.
- Gas: Lacks a definite volume and shape; molecules are widely spaced and move rapidly, filling any container.
Phase Changes
- Melting: Transition from solid to liquid.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid.
-
Vaporization: Transition from liquid to gas.
- Evaporation: Surface vaporization of a liquid.
- Boiling: Vaporization occurring both from the surface and within the liquid.
- Condensation: Transition from gas to liquid.
- Sublimation: Transition from solid to gas.
- Deposition: Transition from gas to solid.
