Study Notes
The Particle Model of Matter
- All matter is composed of tiny particles.
- These particles are constantly in motion.
- The particles in a substance are held together by forces of attraction.
- The energy of the particles affects the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
- Different pure substances have different kinds of particles. The characteristics of the substance depend on the type of particle and how they are arranged.
- Space exists between the particles.
Particle Arrangement and Movement in Different States of Matter
- Solid: Particles are closely packed together in a fixed, regular arrangement. Particles vibrate about fixed positions but do not move past each other. The forces of attraction between particles are strong.
- Liquid: Particles are closely packed but not in a fixed arrangement (random arrangement). Particles can move past each other but are still attracted to each other. More space between particles compared to solids. The forces of attraction are weaker than in solids.
- Gas: Particles are widely spread out with no regular arrangement. Particles move freely and randomly, not interacting except at collision. The forces of attraction are negligible.
Properties of Matter Related to the Particle Model
- Density: The density of a substance is related to the mass of the particles and the space between them. High density means closely packed particles with less space in between.
- Melting Point: The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. This is related to the energy required to overcome the forces of attraction between particles in a solid.
- Boiling Point: The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas. Higher boiling points indicate stronger forces of attraction between particles.
- Solubility: The ability of one substance to dissolve into another. The particle arrangement and interaction of the particles in the solvents and solute affect this.
Evidence Supporting the Particle Model
- Diffusion: The spreading of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The constant motion of particles explains this phenomenon. Gases diffuse faster than liquids.
- Changes of state: Matter can change from one state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) to another due to a change in temperature or pressure. The particles' kinetic energy and interparticle forces dictate these changes.
- Evaporation: Evaporation shows the continual motion of particles from a surface. The movement of particles, temperature and interaction with their environment dictate the speed and amount of evaporation.
- Compression: Gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart, meaning there is considerable empty space. Liquids and solids are less compressible because the particles are more closely packed.
Implications of the Particle Model in Everyday Life
- Cooking: Understanding the effect of heat on the particles in a food helps predict how it will be cooked (temperature, time etc.).
- Construction and Manufacturing: Materials science leverages the particle model to design and manufacture solid substances with certain properties (strength, hardness).
- Medicine: Pharmaceuticals and medicine interaction at a microscopic level can be explained by particle model. Particle movement in the body can affect drug distribution and effectiveness.
