How are particles in a solid arranged
The particles are touching and
vibrate
around a
fixed
pattern
How are
particles
in a
liquid
arranged
Particles
are
touching
but not in fixed positions
Free
to
move around
How are particles in a gas arranged
Particles are
spaced
out and move around randomly and
quickly
How are changes in state different to chemical changes
The material recovers its original properties if the change is
reversed
Which state of matter is most dense
Solid
What are the names of the five state changes
Melting
Evaporation
Freezing
Condensation
Sublimation
How do you measure the volume of a regular solid
Measure the
length
of the
three
sides and multiply together
How do you measure volume of an irregular solid
Place the irregular solid in
water
Measure volume of
displaced
water
What is internal energy
The total
kinetic
energy and potential energy of all the
particles
that make up a system
What is the definition of specific heat capacity
The energy needed to
heat
up
1kg
of a material by 1°C
What is the definition of latent heat
The energy needed to change state of
1
kg of a substance without changing
temperature
Why doesn't the temperature of a material change as it's changing state?
Energy
goes into breaking/making
bonds
How do the molecules in a
gas
move
In
random motion
What happens to the speed of particles in a gas as the gas is heated
The speed of particles
increases
as the gas is
heated
What happens to pressure if the size of the container is reduced
Pressure
increases
The specific latent heat of fusion gives what state change?
Solid
to
Liquid
The specific latent heat of vaporisation gives what state change?
From
Liquid
to
Gas
