Study Notes
States of Water
- Water exists in three physical states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- In the solid state (ice), particles are closely packed and arranged in a regular pattern.
- In the liquid state, particles are closely packed but not arranged regularly.
- In the gas state (water vapour), particles are far apart.
Changes in State of Water
- Melting: change from solid to liquid, occurs at 0°C.
- Freezing: change from liquid to solid, occurs at 0°C.
- Boiling: change from liquid to gas, occurs at 100°C.
- Evaporation: change from liquid to gas, occurs at temperatures below 100°C.
- Condensation: change from gas to liquid, occurs at temperatures at or below 100°C.
The Water Cycle
- Evaporation: water particles absorb energy, escape from the surface, and become water vapour.
- Condensation: water vapour cools, condenses, and forms small water droplets.
- Cloud formation: water droplets join together to form clouds.
- Transportation: clouds are carried to other places by wind.
- Precipitation: water droplets fall as rain when they become heavy enough.
Reducing Water Pollution
- Everyone has a responsibility to reduce water pollution.
- Ways to reduce pollution: use less detergent, do not throw rubbish into the sea or rivers, and do not pour waste water into rainwater drains.
