1
Matter Phase Changes
2
Particles in Matter Particles in matter are atoms and molecules. They have a force of attraction for each other. They are constantly moving. They move faster at higher temperatures.
3
Phases of Matter The four most common phases of matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma
4
Energy and Phases Matter can be changed to different phases by adding or removing energy. When energy is added – endothermic When energy is removed – exothermic Atoms and molecules are more ordered in matter that has less energy. Atoms and molecules become less ordered in matter that has more energy.
5
Changes of State Melting: solid liquid Freezing: liquid solid Vaporization: liquid gas Condensation: gas liquid Sublimation: solid gas
6
Summary of Phase Changes Gas Liquid Solid Energy in System Melting Vaporization (boiling or evaporation) Sublimation Condensation Freezing Deposition = Exo = Endo
7
The Fourth State - Plasma The most common state of matter in the universe (estimates place it at 99%). No definite volume or shape. Particles are broken apart (even parts of the atoms themselves). Are effected by magnetic fields. Conduct electric currents.
8
Plasma Natural examples on Earth Lightning and Flame Artificial plasmas Inside fluorescent light bulbs and plasma TV s. Also inside - Fusion Reactors
9
Nuclear Fission vs Fusion Nuclear Fission – splitting atoms Releases large amounts of energy Can create chain reaction http://www.atomicarchive.com/Fission/Fiss ion1.shtmlhttp://www.atomicarchive.com/Fission/Fiss ion1.shtml
10
Nuclear Explosion Hiroshima type bomb = 12 kilotons or 12,000 lbs of TNT. Injuries occur outward in 10 square mile area.
11
Fusion Hydrogen atoms are hitting each other. http://www.atomi carchive.com/Fu sion/FusionMov. shtmlhttp://www.atomi carchive.com/Fu sion/FusionMov. shtml
12
Fusion Reactors Could be future source of unlimited energy. We have test fusion reactor a few miles away in Sorrento Valley.
14
Inside a Fusion Reactor
15
The Sun – a very large fusion reactor
16
Hydrogen Bomb - Fusion
