The OTHER TWO states of matter

LIQUIDS• A decrease in the average kinetic energy of gas

particles causes the temperature to decrease. • As it cools, the particles tend to move more

slowly– if they slow down enough, attractive forces - called

van der Waal’s forces – pull them very close together so they can only slip & slide past each other.

It is now in liquid form

Condensation –Change of a gas to a liquid

The Nature of Liquids• The conversion of a liquid to a gas (or vapor)

at the surface of a liquid is called vaporization• In an open container the process is called

evaporation- Particles near the surface with enough kinetic energy that happen to bounce in the right direction escape!

If you were to add a drop of water below the tube to the left what would happen?It would rise to the top & evaporate.What would it do to the surface of the mercury?Vapor Pressure – pressure exerted by vapor!

The Nature of Liquids• Eventually the particles will lose energy and return to

the liquid state, or condense.• What are the odds that they will return to the original

liquid?• What if we cover the container?• So, the particles begin to evaporate, then some begin

to condense. Eventually, the number of particles evaporating will equal the number condensing & the space above the liquid will be saturated with vapor– A dynamic equilibrium now exists:

the Rate of evaporation = rate of condensation

The Nature of Liquids

• Note that there will still be particles that evaporate and condense– But, there will be no NET change– It will LOOK like there’s NOTHING taking place

The Nature of Liquids

• A liquid will evaporate faster when heated– Because the added heat increases the average

kinetic energy needed to overcome the attractive forces so more particles have enough energy to ‘escape’!

– But, evaporation is a COOLING process• Cooling occurs because particles with the

highest energy escape first

The Nature of Liquids• Particles left behind have lower average

kinetic energies; thus the temperature decreases– Similar to removing the fastest runner from a race-

the remaining runners have a lower average speed• Evaporation helps to keep our skin cooler on a

hot day, unless it is very humid on that day. Why?

The Nature of Liquids

• A liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals the external pressure, so the boiling point changes if the external pressure changes.– Bubbles form throughout the liquid, rise to the

surface, and escape into the air

• Normal boiling point is when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals standard pressure. (1 atm)

• The boiling point (bp) is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure on the liquid

The Nature of Liquids• Normal bp of water = 100C– However, in Denver = 95 C, since Denver is 1600

m above sea level and average atmospheric pressure is about 85.3 kPa (Recipe adjustments?)

– In pressure cookers, which reduce cooking time, water boils above 100 C due to the increased pressure

SOLIDS• If you cool a liquid, the particles lose kinetic

energy and slow down & get closer together.• If they slow down enough, extra forces of

attraction pull them in so close together that they can only vibrate in place.

Freezing – change of a liquid to a solid.

WHAT ARE ICE SPIKES?Ice spikes grow as the water in an ice cube tray turns to ice. The water first freezes on the top surface, around the edges of what will become the ice cube. The ice slowly freezes in from the edges, until just a small hole is left unfrozen in the surface. At the same time, while the surface is freezing, more ice starts to form around the sides of the cube. Since ice expands as it freezes, the ice freezing below the surface starts to push water up through the hole in the surface ice (see diagram). If the conditions are just right, then water will be forced out of the hole in the ice and it will freeze into an ice spike, a bit like lava pouring out of a hole in the ground to makes a volcano. But water does not flow down the sides of a thin spike, so in that way it is different from a volcano. Rather, the water freezes around the rim of the tube, and thus adds to its length. The spike can continue growing taller until all the water freezes, cutting off the supply, or until the tube freezes shut.

Types of Solids• Molecular solids• Metallic solids• Ionic solids• Covalent network solids

MOLECULAR SOLIDS• These types of crystalline solids have molecules

at the corners of the lattice instead of individual ions. They are softer, less reactive, have weaker non-polar ion attractions, and lower melting points.

• A molecular solid is held together by intermolecular forces. The bonding of hydrogen and oxygen in frozen water shows how hydrogen forms bonds between different water molecules.

METALLIC SOLIDS

• Another type of crystalline solid is made up of metals.

IONIC SOLID• Ionic solids form a lattice with the outside

points made up of ions instead of larger molecules. These are the “opposites attract” solids.

COVALENT SOLIDS• A grouping of covalent bonds holds some

solids together. Assembled together in large nets or chains, covalent multi-layered solids are extremely hard and stable in this type of configuration

What is a Crystalline Solid?

• Particles of crystals are arranged in repeating geometric patterns

Crystalline Solids

• Table salt crystals are shaped like cubes.

• Diamond, a form of carbon, is also a crystalline solid– the crystals are shaped something like pyramids.

Non-crystalline solids• Solids that do not form crystals (Amorphous)• Their molecules do not arrange into repeating

patterns– often because they are too large

• Examples:– Glass - also called a super-cooled liquid– many plastics, soot, asphalt, butter

PHASE CHANGES• PHASE CHANGES – change is physical state (melting,

freezing, boiling, condensing, sublimation, deposition) • BOTH PHASES are present during a phase change• Temperature remains constant during a phase change.• Sublimation – change of a solid directly to a gas (dry ice,

iodine, snow)• Deposition – change of a gas directly to a solid.• Phase Diagrams show relationship between energy,

temperature, & phases.
