Chapter 3 States of Matter
Section 3.1 Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Describing the States of Matter Materials can be classified as solids, liquids, or gases based on whether their shapes and volumes are definite or variable. Materials can be classified as solids, liquids, or gases based on whether their shapes and volumes are definite or variable. Solid – definite shape and definite volume Solid – definite shape and definite volume Liquid – definite volume but not a definite shape Liquid – definite volume but not a definite shape Gas – neither definite shape or volume Gas – neither definite shape or volume See page 68 – Reading Strategy See page 68 – Reading Strategy
Other States of Matter Plasma – exists at extremely high temperatures Plasma – exists at extremely high temperatures BEC (Bose-Einstein condensate) – exists at very low temperatures (below -273ºC) BEC (Bose-Einstein condensate) – exists at very low temperatures (below -273ºC)
Kinetic Theory Kinetic – from the Greek meaning “to move” Kinetic – from the Greek meaning “to move” Kinetic energy – energy an object has due to its motion Kinetic energy – energy an object has due to its motion The kinetic theory of matter says that all particles of matter are in constant motion. The kinetic theory of matter says that all particles of matter are in constant motion. There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter. There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter.
The Kinetic Theory and the States of Matter Gases – particles are very far apart from one another and move very fast. Attraction between particles is almost non-existent Gases – particles are very far apart from one another and move very fast. Attraction between particles is almost non-existent Liquids – particles are close together and move much slower. There is attraction between particles Liquids – particles are close together and move much slower. There is attraction between particles Solids – particles are very close together and hardly move at all. Particles are very attracted to each other. Solids – particles are very close together and hardly move at all. Particles are very attracted to each other.
Explaining the behavior of Gases Gas particles are far apart and moving very, very fast Gas particles are far apart and moving very, very fast The constant motion of the gas particles allows a gas to fill a container of any shape and size The constant motion of the gas particles allows a gas to fill a container of any shape and size
Explaining the Behavior of Liquids A liquid takes the shape of its container because particles in a liquid can flow to new locations. A liquid takes the shape of its container because particles in a liquid can flow to new locations. The volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles close together. The volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles close together.
Explaining the Behavior of Solids Solids have a definite volume and shape because particles in a solid vibrate around fixed locations. Solids have a definite volume and shape because particles in a solid vibrate around fixed locations.
Section 3.2 The Gas Laws
Pressure Pressure is the result of a force distributed over an area. Pressure is the result of a force distributed over an area. SI unit is derived from units for force and area (force/area – Newton/square meter) SI unit is derived from units for force and area (force/area – Newton/square meter) Pascal (Pa = N/m 2 ) Pascal (Pa = N/m 2 ) Collisions between particles of a gas and the walls of the container cause the pressure in a close container of gas. Collisions between particles of a gas and the walls of the container cause the pressure in a close container of gas.
Factor that Affect Gas Pressure Temperature – raising temperature will increase its pressure if the volume & number of particles stay the same. Temperature – raising temperature will increase its pressure if the volume & number of particles stay the same. Volume – reducing the volume increases its pressure if the temperature and number of particles stay the same. Volume – reducing the volume increases its pressure if the temperature and number of particles stay the same. Number of Particles – increasing the number of particles will increase the pressure if the temperature stays the same. Number of Particles – increasing the number of particles will increase the pressure if the temperature stays the same.

Section 3.3 Phase Changes
The reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another The reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another Melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition are six common phase changes. Melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition are six common phase changes. The temperature of a substance does not change during a phase change. The temperature of a substance does not change during a phase change.
Energy & Phase Changes Energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change. Energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change. Endothermic change – the system absorbs energy from its surroundings Endothermic change – the system absorbs energy from its surroundings Exothermic change – the system releases energy to its surroundings Exothermic change – the system releases energy to its surroundings Heat of fusion – the amount of energy needed for a particular substance to undergo a phase change Heat of fusion – the amount of energy needed for a particular substance to undergo a phase change
