Phases of Matter
4
Solids matter is arranged in a regular, rigid pattern definite shape and volume crystalline structure
5
Liquids particles not held as tightly together able to move past one another (flow) definite volume, no definite shape
6
Gases Minimal attractive forces holding particles together No definite shape or volume (takes the shape and volume of a container)
7
Phase Changes all phase changes are accompanied with either a loss or gain of energy an element, compound, or mixture can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas (s, l, g)
8
Endothermic Changes Phase changes that require the gain of heat Examples 1. melting/fusion- solid substance becomes liquid 2. evaporation/boiling/vaporization- liquid substance becomes gas 3. sublimation- solid substance changes directly to a gas
10
Exothermic Reactions all of these phase changes require the loss or release of energy Examples 1. freezing/solidification – liquid substance becomes solid 2. condensation – gaseous substance becomes liquid 3. deposition – gaseous substance turns directly into a solid

Phases In Detail Solids
13
True solids have a crystalline structure 1. Crystals are arranged in repeated geometric patterns 2. Example: ice (strong intermolecular attraction)
14
Pseudosolids lack crystalline structure 1. Examples: glass, some plastics 2. These are supercooled liquids
15
Sublimation When a solid changes directly into a gas by the addition of heat Substances that sublime have high vapor pressure (lots of gas hovering over the solid) Low intermolecular forces of attraction (particles break apart easily) Examples: 1. Dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) CO 2 (s) 2. Solid iodine I 2 (s) 3. mothballs
