Kinetic Molecular Model of Solid and Liquids
Kinetic Molecular Model of Solid and Liquids
KINETIC ENERGY
• SOLID TO LIQUID = Melting
It is the energy needed to keep the particles
• LIQUID TO GAS = Vaporization
moving, which is dependent upon
• GAS TO LIQUID = Condensation
TEMPERATURE
• LIQUID TO SOLID = Freezing
• SOLID TO GAS = Sublimation
STATES OF MATTER
• GAS TO SOLID = Deposition
1. SOLID
• Closely packed together
• Compact Arrangement
• Definite shape and Volume
• Vibrate about fixed positions
• Moves Slow
• No freedom of Motion
2. LIQUID
• Slightly far from one another
• Has definite volume but
assumes the shape of a
container
• Slide past one another
• Moves fast
3. GAS
• Very far from one another
• Assumes the shape and
volume of its container
• Very free of motion
• Moves the fastest
