The particle theory of matter

• Matter is made of particles


• Too tiny, cannot see with naked eye
• Different substances have different
particles
• Different particles have different sizes
SOLID
• Definite mass
• Particles: Atoms and molecules
• Definite shape
• Unchanged volume
• Do not flow
• Hard to compress (squash) it

LIQUID GAS
• Definite mass • Definite mass
• Unchanged volume • Volume varies
• Flow easily • Flow easily
• Hard to compress (squash) it • Easy to compress
• Shape depends on container • Shape depends on container

Change State of Matter Melting


• Solid heated
• Reach melting point,
solid loses shape
• Reason : Heat supply
energy, particles vibrate
strongly and push each
other further away
• Force of attraction
weakened between
particles, move around
each other

Freezing Evaporating
• Liquid cooled • Liquid become gas over range
• Reach freezing point, of temperature without
liquid becomes solid boiling
• Reason : Particle lose • Particle which has more
energy, particles no energy move faster, push from
longer move around others and escape to air, form
each other a gas
• Force of attraction
formed between
particles, closer to
each other

Boiling Condensing
• Liquid reaches boiling point • Gas cooled down
• Bubble gas form • Gas form liquid
• Heat strongly, temperature do • Gas lose energy, move slow
not increase but boils quickly down
• Heat causes liquid parties • Particles no longer bounce off
move faster, form bubbles and each other
escape to air • Particles stay close and form
• Liquid become gas liquid

Sublimation Dissolving
• Solid change to a gas or gas • Solid dissolve into liquid, looks
change to solid without like disappear
forming liquid
• If not dissolve, just spread out
• Solid to gas loses force of
attraction between • Liquid has gaps, the solid
particles quickly. The particle can fill the gaps
particles move away from
each other
• Gas to solid loses energy to
move faster quickly. The
particles closer together

Gas pressure Atmospheric pressure


• Force of gas particles • The atmosphere mix of gas covers the Earth
push against surface • 1000 km thick push every square centimeter on Earth
• High temperature, high • A push force in a certain area, in square centimeter = atmospric
pressure pressure
• Low temperature, low • Unit at sea level =N/cm2
pressure
• On top mountain, atmospheric pressure is less than sea level
• Lower pressure, lower boiling point, less heat energy need
• High temperature, high gas pressure, pushes lid container

Diffusion

Liquid denser
than gas,
diffusion in
liquid slower
