6 Questions
What is the phase change process where a substance transitions directly from a gaseous state to a solid state, without passing through the liquid state?
Deposition
Which of the following statements about deposition is NOT correct?
Deposition is the process where a liquid transforms directly into a gas.
Which of the following phase changes is an example of deposition?
Water vapor turning directly into solid ice crystals on a surface.
How does deposition differ from condensation?
Deposition involves a gas turning directly into a solid, while condensation involves a gas turning into a liquid.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between deposition and sublimation?
Deposition is the reverse process of sublimation.
Which of the following statements about the relationship between temperature, kinetic energy, and the distance between particles during deposition is correct?
As temperature decreases, kinetic energy decreases and the distance between particles decreases.
Study Notes
Phase Changes
- Melting: change of matter from solid state to liquid state
- Freezing/Solidification: change of matter from liquid state to solid state
- Evaporation: change of matter from liquid state to gas state
- Condensation: change of matter from gas state to liquid state
- Sublimation: change of matter from solid state to gas state without passing through liquid state
- Deposition: change of matter from gas state to solid state
Temperature and Kinetic Energy
- Increasing temperature results in increased kinetic energy and greater distance between particles
- Decreasing temperature results in decreased kinetic energy and closer distance between particles
- As temperature and kinetic energy decrease, particles move closer together
Test your knowledge on phase changes such as melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and deposition. Learn about the different transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states of matter.
