States of Matter Changes all around us
What is Matter? • Matteris anything that has mass (atoms) and volume (takes up space). • EVERYTHING is made ofmatter.
4 States of Matter There are four states of matter: • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma
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)
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
What is Viscosity? Viscosity= a liquids resistance to changing its shape. Thicker = higher viscosity Thinner = lower viscosity
What is a Gas? • Gas: • takes the shape of its container, • molecules are very far apart and moving fast.
Everything is in Motion All molecules are in motion
Everything has Heat All molecules have heat.
What is Heat? Heat is a transfer of energy
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
Where Does Heat Come From? Sun, burning fuel, friction
Convection Convection = a substance in motion carries heat energy with it. (requires matter)
Conduction Conduction = is the molecule to molecule transfer of heat energy. (requires matter)
Radiation Radiation = photons travel through space from emitter to another point (does not require matter)
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)
What is Absolute Zero? • Absolute Zero = the temperature at which kinetic energy of molecules is zero, there is NO movement of the molecules.
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
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”
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
Phase Changes - Melting • Solid + heat Liquid (Melting) • ex. Ice melting to water
Phase Changes - Condensation • Gas – heat Liquid (Condensation) • ex. Liquid forming on the outside of a cold glass
Phase Changes - Freezing • Liquid – heat Solid (Freezing) • ex. Water cooling and changing into ice
Phase Changes - Sublimation • Solid + heat Gas (Sublimation) • ex. Dry ice, moth balls disappear over time
Phase Changes - Deposition • Gas – heat Solid (Deposition) • ex. Snow, frost on windows, breath on cold day, frost in freezer
Thermal Expansion • Thermal Expansion = the expansion that occurs as a substance is heated
