States of Matter
2
States of Matter Temperature
At the atomic level all matter is in motion – even solids What is the difference between the molecules of ice, water, steam/water vapor? Temperature And what exactly is Temperature? a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance
3
States of Matter
4
Solids Every solid has a definite shape and definite volume
The particles in a solid move very slowly. In fact, they essentially are just vibrating in place Solids
5
Liquids Add energy (heat) to a solid, and you will get a liquid
Particles of liquids slide past each other Liquid flows and takes the shape of its container Indefinite shape Definite volume
6
Gases Add energy (heat) to liquid and you get gas
Gases expand or contract to fill the space available to them. Indefinite shape Indefinite volume
7
Plasma Examples: Fluorescent lights Neon signs Northern Lights
Lightening Add energy (heat) to gas and you get plasma 99.8% of our solar system’s mass is in the sun. The most common form of mass on the sun is plasma
8
States of Matter Vocabulary: Evaporation Condensation Sublimation
Solid Liquid Gas Plasma Temperature Volume Melting Point -The temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. Boiling Point- The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas
9
Energy is Required to change the state of Matter
Heat of Vaporization The energy required to change from a solid to a liquid Heat of Fusion The energy required to change from a liquid to a gas.
10
States of Matter Solid - molecules vibrate but cannot change position; definite shape and definite size Liquid - molecules can move over and around each other; definite volume but indefinite shape
11
States of Matter Gas - molecules move around freely and separate from one another; no definite shape or size Plasma - matter heated to such a high temperature that atoms begin to break apart; outer electrons are stripped away
12
The Transitions Solid Liquid: Liquid Gas: Solid Gas:
Liquid Solid: Gas Liquid: Gas Solid: MELTING EVAPORATION SUBLIMATION FREEZING CONDENSATION DEPOSITION The Transitions
13
The Transitions
14
The State of Matter Depends on Temperature
Water from your freezer starts as solid ice Add heat and you get liquid water Add more heat and you get steam (a gas) Add even more heat and you get plasma
15
Why does ENERGY (heat) change the State of Matter?
The more heat that is applied to an object the more energy it has The more energy an object has the more it will vibrate Particle motion (from slow to fast): Solid Liquid Gas Plasma
17
Physical and Chemical Changes
18
Pure Substances: cannot physically separate
Element: pure substance, only one type of atom Compound: two or more elements chemically combined Pure Substances: cannot physically separate
19
Mixtures: can separate physically
Element: pure substance, only one type of atom Compound: two or more elements chemically combined Mixtures: can separate physically
20
Heterogeneous Mixtures
Substances can be easily distinguished and separated Ex: sand and salt, iron and sugar, sand and gravel Homogeneous Mixtures Substances are well mixed and appear the same throughout Ex: Solution
21
Physical Properties Describe substances undergoing physical changes
Ex: density, color, texture, conductivity, malleability, ductility, boiling point, melting point Physical Properties
22
Chemical Properties Describe substances undergoing chemical changes
Ex: flammability, corrosiveness, volatility Chemical Properties
23
Physical Changes Same substance remains after change
Used to separate mixtures Ex: pounding, tearing, cutting, dissolving, evaporating, melting, boiling, pulling Physical Changes
24
If you break a bottle, you still have glass
If you break a bottle, you still have glass. Painting your nails will not stop them from being fingernails. Some common examples of physical changes are: melting, freezing, condensing, breaking, crushing, cutting, and bending.
25
Some, but not all physical changes can be reversed
Some, but not all physical changes can be reversed. You could refreeze the water into ice, but you cannot put your hair back together if you don’t like your haircut!
26
Special types of physical changes where any object changes state, such as when water freezes or evaporates, are sometimes called change of state operations.
27
Chemical Changes Results in new substance with new properties
Also known as a chemical reaction Ex: burning, digesting, fermenting, decomposing FLAMMABILITY: A material’s ability to BURN in the presence of OXYGEN REACTIVITY: How readily (easily) a substance combines chemically with other substances. Chemical Changes
28
Chemical Change Evidence
1. Precipitate forms (solid) 2. Gas evolves (bubbles) 3. Color change 4. Energy change Exothermic = releases energy Endothermic = absorbs energy 5. Odor produced (sometimes)
29
Which has higher reactivity
Which has higher reactivity? A 14 karat gold ring or a cheap metal ring from the vending machine at the grocery store? What is your evidence?
30
When you burn a log in a fireplace, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that releases carbon. When you light your Bunsen burner in lab, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that produces water and carbon dioxide.
31
Common examples of chemical changes that you may be somewhat familiar with are; digestion, respiration, photosynthesis, burning, and decomposition.
