Study Notes
States of Matter: Solids, Liquids, and Gases
-
Solids:
- Shape: Fixed shape
- Volume: Fixed volume
- Compressibility: Incompressible
- Density: High
- Particle Arrangement: Tightly packed in a regular pattern, vibrating around fixed positions
- Intermolecular Forces: Strong forces of attraction between particles
-
Liquids:
- Shape: Takes the shape of its container
- Volume: Fixed volume
- Compressibility: Less compressible than gases
- Density: Lower than solids
- Particle Arrangement: Closely arranged, but particles can move past one another in a random arrangement
- Intermolecular Forces: Weaker forces of attraction than solids
-
Gases:
- Shape: No fixed shape
- Volume: No fixed volume, fills the container
- Compressibility: Highly compressible
- Density: Low
- Particle Arrangement: Particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions
- Intermolecular Forces: Negligible forces of attraction
Changes of State
- Melting: Solid to liquid; occurs at the melting point with heat absorption
- Boiling: Liquid to gas; occurs at the boiling point with heat absorption
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas; occurs at any temperature below boiling point with heat absorption
- Freezing: Liquid to solid; occurs at the freezing point with heat release
- Condensation: Gas to liquid; occurs at the boiling point with heat release
Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Gases
-
Temperature:
- Increase in temperature = increase in kinetic energy of gas particles = increase in volume
- Decrease in temperature = decrease in kinetic energy of gas particles = decrease in volume
-
Pressure:
- Increase in pressure = decrease in volume (particles forced closer together)
- Decrease in pressure = increase in volume (particles can move further apart)
Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Behavior
- Heating: Adding heat increases kinetic energy of particles, causing changes in state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas
- Cooling: Removing heat decreases kinetic energy of particles, causing changes in state from gas to liquid or liquid to solid.
-
Kinetic Molecular Theory on Gas Behavior:
- Temperature: Higher temperature leads to faster particle movement and larger volume.
- Pressure: Increased pressure leads to smaller volume and vice versa.
