Phase Changes Gas Liquid Solid Amount of heat
When matter changes from one state to another, the substance itself does not change. • Water, ice, and steam (water vapor) are all the same basic substances. • The molecules themselves do not change. • What changes is the arrangement of the molecules and the space between them
Solids can become liquids, liquids can become solids • Melting- the process by which a solid becomes a liquid • Different solids melt at different temperatures. • Melting point -The lowest temperature at which a substance begins to melt.
Solids can become liquids, liquids can become solids • Example: Snow melting to water at 0oC
REMEMBER: particles are always in motion, even in solids. Because the particles in a solid are bound together, they do not move from place to place-they vibrate. • As a solid heats up, the particles vibrate faster until they break loose and slide past each other-in other words turn into a liquid.
Freezing - the process by which a liquid becomes a solid. • A frozen substance does not have to have an extremely cold temperature, some substances are frozenat room temperatures. (example: chocolate bars, candles, soda cans)
Freezing point - the temperature at which a specific liquid becomes a solid. • The freezing point of a substance is the same as the melting point. • At temperatures below this point the substance is a solid, above this point the substance is a liquid.
Vaporization – change of matter from a liquid state to a gas. • Vaporization occurs at the boiling point or during evaporation.
Evaporation - the process by which a liquid becomes a gas • It occurs at the surface of a liquid • The fastest moving particles at the surface can break away from the liquid and escape to become gasparticles.
Boiling 3. Boilingis another process by which a liquid becomes a gas. • Unlike evaporation, boiling produces bubbles that contain energetic molecules that have escaped from the liquid to form a gas • Boiling occurs when a liquid reaches a certain temperature called the boiling point, 100oC for water.
Condensation- the process by whichagas becomes a liquid. • When you cool a gas it loses energy. As the particles move more slowly, the attractions among them cause droplets to form.
Sublimation • Under certain conditions, solids can lose particles through a process similar to evaporation. • Sublimation– when solids change directly to a gas. Example: Dry ice(solid carbon dioxide) sublimates in normal atmospheric conditions.
Deposition • Deposition- When a gas changes directly to a solid. • When you cool a gas it loses energy. As the particles move more slowly, the attractions among some them cause a solid to form. • When carbon dioxide is cooled, it forms a solid, not a liquid.
