You may recall that phases of matter change when exposed to different factors.
The processes behind these changes include evaporation, condensation, freezing, and
melting. What process is involved when a liquid turns to gas? In the next activities,
you are going to step up on the ladder of your learning about the phase changes matter

What Is It
TYPES AND PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS
Amorphous Solids have fixed shape and volume; however their particles are
not arranged in regular geometric patterns. The term 'amorphous,' in Greek roots,
translates to "without form". They are referred to as "supercooled liquids" since this
type of solids appears to have been cooled at very low temperatures, and their viscosity
are very high, preventing the flow of the liquid.
5
During the cooling process, the particles are trapped in the disarranged
characteristic manner of liquids. Many polymers are amorphous solids. Examples of
amorphous solids are glass, rubber, gels, some plastics, and nanostructured
materials.
Crystalline Solids referred to as "true solids," are solids with highly ordered
arrangements of particles (atoms, ions, and molecules) in microscopic structures. The
latter make up a crystal lattice that accounts for the structure of the solid. Examples
of crystalline solids include salt (sodium chloride), diamond, and sodium nitrate.
There are four types of crystalline solids, namely: Ionic Solids, Covalent Solids,
Molecular Solids, and Metallic Solids.
Molecular solids are soft, have low to moderately high melting points, and have
poor thermal and electrical conductivity. The particles of this type of solids are either
composed of atoms or molecules held together by intermolecular forces. The strengths
of the attractive forces between the units present in different crystals in molecular
solids vary widely. Small symmetrical molecules (nonpolar molecules), such as H 2, N2,
O2, and F2, have weak attractive forces and form molecular solids with very low melting
points (below −200 °C). On the other hand, molecular solids composed of molecules
with permanent dipole moments (polar molecules) melt at higher temperatures.
Examples of molecular solids include ice that melts at 0 °C and table sugar that melts
at 185 °C.

A solid substance may change into another phase under certain conditions.
These phase changes are better shown in a graphical way known as diagrams, which
show the effects of pressure and temperature on a specific phase of matter
The transformation of matter from one phase to another is what we call phase
change. It always involves absorption or release of heat.
The illustration shows the different phase changes of matter. You even have
already encountered some of these processes in the lower grade levels.
The diagram above shows the phase change of (a) Water (H2O) and
(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2) Source: Chemistry the Central Science page 413wn pp. 413)
7
The gas phase is the most stable at low pressure and temperature. Solid phase
is stable upon extending to low temperature and high pressures, while the stability of
liquid phase lies between the range of the other two regions of the solid and gas
phases.
The triple point of water is represented by the letter A (0.00980C, 4.58 torr).
The normal melting or freezing point of water is represented by the letter B (00C, 1.00
atm while the normal boiling point is represented by the letter C (1000C, 1.00 atm).
The critical point is represented by the letter D (3740C, 218 atm). On the other hand,
the triple point of CO2 is represented by the letter X (-56.40C, 5.11 atm). Its normal
sublimation point is represented by the letter Y (-78.50C, 1.00 atm), and the critical
point is represented by the letter C (-31.10C, 73.0 atm).
The Graphs show (a) Heating Curve and (b) Cooling Curve.

Continued heating of the substance after it has completely melted will now
increase the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules and the temperature will start to
rise (segment C). Assuming that the atmospheric pressure is standard, the
temperature will rise steadily until it reaches 100°C. At this point, the added energy
from the heat will cause the liquid to begin to vaporize.
8
As with the previous phase change, the temperature will remain at 100°C while
the water molecules are going from the liquid to the gas or vapor state (Segmet D).
Once all the liquid has completely boiled away, continued heating of the steam
(remember the container is closed) will increase its temperature above 100°C (Segment
E).
