What is a phase change? - when matter changes from one form to another due to the addition or removal of heat
Examples of phase changes: EVAPORATION CONDENSATION MELTING BOILING FREEZING SUBLIMATION
Phases of Matter
Kinetic Theory of Matter -All molecules are in constant motion -As temperature increases so does the rate at which molecules move and vis versa At what temperature, theoretically, does all molecular motion stop? Temperature scales: Kelvin Fahrenheit Celsius Boiling: Freezing:
Freezing point The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Freezing point is 0◦C
Melting point The temperatures at which the solid form of the element becomes a liquid. The melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
Boiling point The boiling point of an element or compound is the temperature at which it goes from a liquid to a gann the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Condensation Point The temperature at which a substance goes from a gas to a liquid An objects boiling point and condensation point are the same 100◦C
