States of Matter Changes all around us
2
What is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass (atoms) and volume (takes up space). EVERYTHING is made of matter.
4
3 States of Matter
5
Water in all 3 states
6
4 States of Matter There are four states of matter: Solid Liquid Gas
Plasma
7
What Makes Something a Solid?
Solids: Retain their shape, Molecules are close together, with strong force between molecules that holds the shape, Molecules moving very slowly (vibrating)
8
Solids
9
What Makes Something a Liquid?
Liquids: Take the shape of its container, Molecules close but not as tightly held as in solids, Molecules move around each other. Liquids can have different viscosities
10
What is Viscosity? Viscosity = a liquids resistance to changing its shape. Thicker = higher viscosity Thinner = lower viscosity
11
What is a Gas? Gas: takes the shape of its container,
molecules are very far apart and moving fast.
12
Some Gas
13
More Gas
14
Lots and Lots of Gas
15
Everything is in Motion
All molecules are in motion
16
Everything has Heat All molecules have heat.
17
What is Heat? Heat is a transfer of energy
18
WHAT IS HEAT? Heat is: a transfer of thermal energy
Thermal energy is the energy of the molecules of a substance Heat always goes from the warmer substance to the colder substance
19
Where Does Heat Come From?
Sun, burning fuel, friction
20
How Does Heat Move? From HOT to COLD
21
Convection Convection = a substance in motion carries heat energy with it. (requires matter)
22
Conduction Conduction = is the molecule to molecule transfer of heat energy. (requires matter)
23
Radiation Radiation = photons travel through space from emitter to another point (does not require matter)
24
How Do We Measure Heat? Thermometer – measures the average Kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. Celsius = water freezes at 0oC and boils at 100oC Farenheit = water freezes at 32oF and boils at 212oF. Kelvin = begins at Absolute Zero = -275 celsius = limit of coldness = the lowest possible kinetic energy that molecules can have (Theoretic point)
25
What is Absolute Zero? Absolute Zero = the temperature at which kinetic energy of molecules is zero, there is NO movement of the molecules.
26
The Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic Molecular Theory – explains thermal energy as the random movement of atoms or molecules; explains the properties of matter. All matter is made of atoms (molecules) The molecules are in constant motion (kinetic) Motion and spacing of the molecules determines the state of matter Temperature of the molecules determines the motion and thereby the state of matter. More heat = more motion = more space
28
Molecular Spacing and Heat Determine State of Matter or Phase
Solid = close molecules, slow, “cold” Liquid = pretty close, faster, “warm” Gas = far apart, fast, “hot”
29
Phase Changes – Evaporation and Boiling
Liquid + heat Gas (Evaporation) ex. Puddle disappearing on a hot day (Boiling) Boiling = pressure of escaping water vapor = air pressure
32
Evaporation is a Cooling Process
33
Phase Changes - Melting
Solid + heat Liquid (Melting) ex. Ice melting to water
34
Phase Changes - Condensation
Gas – heat Liquid (Condensation) ex. Liquid forming on the outside of a cold glass
37
Phase Changes - Freezing
Liquid – heat Solid (Freezing) ex. Water cooling and changing into ice
39
Phase Changes - Sublimation
Solid + heat Gas (Sublimation) ex. Dry ice, moth balls disappear over time
44
Phase Changes - Deposition
Gas – heat Solid (Deposition) ex. Snow, frost on windows, breath on cold day, frost in freezer
45
Thermal Expansion Thermal Expansion = the expansion that occurs as a substance is heated
