Study Notes
Temperature and States of Matter
- Absolute zero is considered to be at a temperature of 0 K.
- At temperatures close to 0 K, metals exhibit improved conductive properties.
New States of Matter
- At temperatures close to 0 K, two new states of matter emerge: Bose-Einstein condensate and fermionic condensate.
- In these states, atoms behave as if they were a single entity.
- Materials under extreme cooling conditions also acquire superfluidity.
States of Matter
- There are four important states of matter mentioned: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- At absolute zero, molecules no longer vibrate at all.
Properties of Substances
- Nitrogen gas has a boiling temperature of -196°C.
- The Sun, a gigantic star, is an example of a plasma state of matter.
- The most common state of matter on Earth is solid.
Phase Changes
- When a substance reaches 100°C at sea level, it turns into a gas.
- A liquefied gas under pressure is an example of a liquid state of matter.
- At very high temperatures, a gas ionizes and becomes a plasma state of matter.
- At extremely high temperatures, a plasma state of matter can decompose into smaller particles, known as a quark-gluon plasma.
- Plasma is commonly seen in the universe, particularly in stars.
