states of matter and changes of state

Cards (13)

  • describe solids
    strong force of attraction that vibrate in fixed regular arrangement with high density
  • describe liquids
    weak forces of attraction that move at slow speed in random arrangement with medium density
  • describe gases
    very weak forces of attraction that move at high speed in random arrangement with low density
  • give change of state from solid to liquid
    melting
  • give change of state from liquid to gas
    boiling / evaporating
  • give change of state from gas to liquid
    condensing
  • give change of state from liquid to sold
    freezing
  • give change of state from gas to solid
    sublimating
  • describe affect of heating
    1. heated particles
    2. particles gain more energy
    3. weaken forces
    4. break bonds
  • describe affect of cooling
    1. cooled particles
    2. particles have insufficient energy
    3. not enough energy to overcome forces
    4. form bonds
  • describe internal energy
    energy stored inside system by particles as total of kinetic and potential energy of particles
  • describe affect of heating and cooling on internal energy
    heating - increases internal energy
    cooling - decreases internal energy
  • describe affect of change in internal energy
    change temperature or state
