A liquid takes up the shape of a container

without its volume changing

 boiling point (or condensing point)

a) solidification or freezing
b) freezing point or melting point
 a) a Water is becoming hotte

b) Water and steam are present

78 °C
Air is a mixture, so it does not have
fixed melting and boiling points
a) because the particles are moving (they have kinetic energy)
b) gas
a) solid
b) gas
Air is a gas and water is a liquid. In these states, the particles can
move past each other, so we can push past them. In a solid, such as
a wall, particles are in fixed positions, so that we cannot push them
apart.
a) Water molecules are too small to see.
b) It was constantly jostled by molecules of the water.
Forces between tungsten atoms are stronger than
forces between iron atoms.
a) It is melting.
b) Energy is required to break bonds
between particles (it increases their
potential energy).
The pressure will increase because the
force of the molecules on the walls of the
container will be greater (and collisions
will be more frequent).
a) halved
b) halved
c) remains the same
The volume is doubled but the number of
particles remains the same, so their
collisions with the walls are half as
frequent
Ans: Decrease the
temperature so that the
particles move more
slowly. Then they will
collide with the walls with
less force, and less
frequently.
