Study Notes
Particle Theory
- Matter is made up of tiny particles.
- These particles are constantly moving.
- The particles have spaces between them.
- The forces between particles vary depending on the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
States of Matter
- Solid:
- Particles are very close together.
- Particles vibrate in fixed positions.
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Strong forces of attraction between particles.
- Liquid:
- Particles are close together but can move past each other.
- Particles vibrate and move.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
- Weaker forces of attraction than solids.
- Gas:
- Particles are far apart.
- Particles move quickly and randomly in all directions.
- Gases have no fixed shape or volume.
- Very weak forces of attraction between particles.
Changes of State
- Melting: Solid to liquid.
- Heat energy is added.
- Particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in fixed positions.
- Particles begin to move more freely.
- Freezing: Liquid to solid.
- Heat energy is removed.
- Particles lose energy and the forces of attraction become stronger.
- Particles lose their ability to move around freely, forming a fixed structure.
- Boiling: Liquid to gas.
- Heat energy is added.
- Particles gain enough energy to overcome all the forces of attraction.
- Particles move rapidly and spread out.
- Condensing: Gas to liquid.
- Heat energy is removed.
- Particles lose energy, and the forces of attraction become strong enough to bring the particles closer together.
- Particles slow down and clump together.
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas (at temperatures below the boiling point).
- Heat energy is added to the surface of a liquid.
- Particles at the surface gain enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction and escape into the atmosphere.
- Remaining particles in the liquid have lower average kinetic energy.
Factors Affecting Changes of State
- Temperature: Increasing temperature generally speeds up particle movement, facilitating changes of state.
- Heat energy: Adding heat provides the energy needed for particles to overcome attractive forces, enabling changes of state from solid to liquid, liquid to gas. Removing heat energy reverses these processes.
Particle Theory Explaining Changes of State
- Particle theory explains changes of state by considering the effect of heat energy on the movement and spacing of particles.
- When heat is added or removed, the energy of the particles changes, affecting how strongly they are attracted to each other and their ability to move.
- The changes in movement and spacing of the particles cause the matter to change from one state to another.
