Study Notes

Physical State of Matter

Solids: fixed shape, fixed volume, cannot be compressed, strong force of attraction between particles, high melting and boiling point, least inter-particle space, ordered arrangement of particles, particles are not free to move, do not flow, exert pressure on walls of container.
Liquids: no fixed shape, fixed volume, cannot be compressed, less force of attraction between particles, low melting and boiling point, more inter-particle space, little order in arrangement of particles, particles can move, flow, and exert pressure on walls of container.
Gases: no fixed shape, no fixed volume, can be compressed, least force of attraction between particles, low melting and boiling point, maximum inter-particle space, no order in arrangement of particles, particles move freely, flow, and exert pressure on walls of container.

Plasma

Fourth state of matter
Consists of super-energetic and super-excited particles in the form of ionized gases
Fluorescent tubes and neon signs contain plasma
Plasma glows with a special color depending on the nature of the gas
Stars and sun glow due to the presence of plasma in them

Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)

Fifth state of matter
Formed when matter is cooled to near absolute zero (-273°C)
Particles have very low energy, overlapping each other to form a single super atom
A rotating BEC can be used as a model for a black hole
Can be used to "freeze" pulses of light and release them again when the condensate breaks down

Characteristics of Matter

Matter is composed of minutely small particles called atoms
Particles of matter have space between them
Particles of matter are continuously moving and possess kinetic energy
Particles of matter attract each other

Diffusion and Evaporation

Diffusion is the process of particles moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Evaporation is the process of particles changing from a liquid state to a gas state
Both diffusion and evaporation increase with an increase in temperature
Liquids with higher density diffuse slower than liquids with lower density
The rate of diffusion increases with an increase in temperature
