What are the three states of matter discussed in the video?
Solid
,
liquid
, and
gas
View source
What model is used to explain how particles behave in different states of matter?
Particle theory
or
kinetic theory
View source
How are particles in solids described in the particle theory?
As small solid
inelastic
spheres
View source
What holds the particles in a solid together?
Strong forces
of attraction
View source
What structure do particles in a solid form?
A regular
lattice structure
View source
Why does a solid maintain a definite shape and volume?
Because the
particles
are fixed in
position
View source
How do particles in a solid behave?
They vibrate around in fixed
positions
View source
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated?
They gain
energy
and
vibrate
more
View source
What is the melting point?
The
temperature
at which a solid melts into a liquid
View source
What happens to the forces between particles at the melting point?
The
forces
weaken
,
allowing
particles
to
break free
View source
How are particles arranged in a liquid?
Randomly, but they are fairly
compact
View source
What allows liquids to flow and change shape?
The
weak forces
of attraction between
particles
View source
What happens to the particles in a liquid when it is heated?
They gain
energy
and move faster
View source
What is the boiling point?
The temperature at which a liquid boils or
evaporates
into a gas
View source
What happens to the forces between particles at the boiling point?
The
forces
weaken
enough
for
particles
to
break
bonds
completely
View source
How do gas particles behave in terms of movement?
They move
freely
and fill the container
View source
What does random motion of gas particles mean?
Particles can travel in any direction and are
deflected
randomly
View source
What happens to gas particles when heated?
They gain
energy
and
travel
faster
View source
What occurs if the gas is in an expandable container when heated?
The
gas
will
expand
View source
What happens if the gas is in a fixed container when heated?
The
pressure
will increase
View source
What happens when a gas is cooled down sufficiently?
Particles
form bonds and
condense
into a liquid
View source
What happens to a liquid when it is cooled further?
Particles
form more bonds and
freeze
into a solid
View source
What is the relationship between changes in state and mass in a closed system?
Mass remains the same as the number of
particles
does not change
View source
How does the density of substances compare among solids, liquids, and gases?
Solids
have the highest density, liquids have lower density, and gases have the lowest density
View source
What are the key characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases?
Solids
:
Fixed shape and volume
Strong forces of attraction
Regular lattice structure
Liquids
:
Definite volume but no fixed shape
Weak forces of attraction
Random arrangement
Gases
:
No definite shape or volume
Very weak forces of attraction
Fill the container
View source
What are the processes of changing states of matter?
Melting
: Solid to liquid at melting point
Boiling/Evaporation
: Liquid to gas at boiling point
Condensation
: Gas to liquid when cooled
Freezing
: Liquid to solid when cooled
View source
How does temperature affect the states of matter?
Heating
:
Increases energy of particles
Can lead to melting or boiling
Cooling
:
Decreases energy of particles
Can lead to
condensation
or
freezing
View source
What is the formula for density?
p
=
p =
p
=
m
V
\frac{m}{V}
V
m
View source
What are the units for density?
kg/m³
View source
What is the particle arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases?
Solid:
Regular arrangement
, very close
spacing
, vibrate about fixed position
Liquid:
Random arrangement
, close spacing, moves around each other
Gas: Random arrangement, far apart spacing, moves quickly in all directions
View source
How do you compare the density of an irregular shaped object with water?
Measure
mass
,
initial
and
final
water volume
View source
What is the first step in measuring the density of an irregular object?
Measure mass using a
top pan balance
View source
How do you find the volume of an irregular object submerged in water?
Subtract
initial
volume from
final
volume
View source
What is the equation to calculate density?
Density =
mass
/
volume
View source
What should you consider when measuring density with different cylinders?
Different measuring cylinders have different
resolutions
View source
What is conserved during state changes?
Mass
is conserved
View source
What type of changes are state changes?
Physical changes
View source
What happens to a material when a state change is reversed?
It regains its original
properties
View source
What is internal energy?
Energy stored inside a system by
particles
View source
What two types of energy make up internal energy?
Kinetic energy
and
potential energy
