Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids have a definite shape and volume because their molecules are closely packed.
- Strong forces of attraction exist between molecules in solids.
- Solids cannot be easily compressed.
- Liquids take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume.
- Molecules in liquids have enough space to slide past one another.
- Moderate or intermediate forces of attraction are present in liquids.
- Liquids can be slightly compressed.
- Gases take the shape of their container and have a varying volume.
- Gas molecules are far away from each other and move freely.
- The force of attraction in gases is weak or negligible.
- Gases can be easily compressed.
Phase Change
- Melting is when a solid turns in to a liquid through heat absorption.
- Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas through heat absorption.
- Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas through heat absorption.
- Solidification/freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid through heat release.
- Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid through heat release.
- Deposition is when a gas turns into a solid through heat release.
Temperature and Phase Change
- Increasing temperature triggers changes from solid to liquid to gas.
- Melting, evaporation, and sublimation require an increase in temperature.
- Decreasing temperature triggers changes from gas to liquid to solid.
- Freezing, condensation, and deposition all require a decrease in temperature.
Changes in Matter
- Physical change occurs when a substance changes form without changing its chemical identity.
- A physical change still results in the same substance.
- Physical changes affect physical properties and are generally easy to reverse.
- Examples of physical changes include melting of ice, boiling of water, cutting or folding paper.
- Chemical change is accompanied by a change in the chemical identity of a substance.
- A chemical change forms a new substance and affects both physical and chemical properties.
- Chemical changes are not easy to reverse without additional chemical reactions.
- Examples of chemical changes include the formation of bubbles when food is spoiled, formation of rust, and lighting a matchstick.
Evidences of Physical Change
- Change in phase of matter
- Change in size
- Change in mass
- Change in shape
Evidences of Chemical Change
- Change in color, odor, taste
- Change in chemical composition
- Formation of new substance
- Formation of gas (bubbles)
- Formation of heat and light
Water Cycle
- The water cycle demonstrates how water is conserved on Earth through phase changes.
- Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor from bodies of water.
- Condensation is the formation of clouds from water vapor.
- Precipitation is the process of "raining" or water falling back to earth.
- Water runs off from mountains into bodies of water.
Particle Theory of Matter
- Matter is composed of tiny particles.
- The particles have spaces between them.
- Particles are constantly in motion.
- The particles of matter attract each other.
