  1. Lesson 11 Phases of Matter • Everything around is matter • A state of matter is the physical form in which matter exists

  2. Phases of Matter • There are four states or phases of matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma

  3. Phases of Matter • Matter often changes state when heat is added or taken away.

  4. Solids, Liquids, Gases • On Earth most matter exists in three states • Solid • Liquid • Gas

  5. Solids, Liquids, Gases • Liquids:

  6. Solids, Liquids, Gases • Gas:

  7. Solids, Liquids, Gases • A gas will spread out to occupy all of the space available to it. • Both liquids and gases are referred to as fluids, because both have a tendency to assume the shape of whatever container holds them.

  8. Solids, Liquids, Gases • States of Matter and Their Properties

  9. Particles and Phase • All matter is made up of particles called atoms and molecules. • The arrangement and motion of the particles that make up a substance determine its state

  10. Solids • In a solid, particles are packed together quite closely and the energy binding these particles is very strong. • This prevents the particles from moving about freely. • The particles move by vibrating in their position.

  11. Solids • This is what gives a solid a definite shape and volume *

  12. Liquids • Particles in a liquid are less densely packed then those in a solid • The energy binding the particles of a liquid is also weaker than that in a solid

  13. Liquids • Particles in a liquid can move around and slide past one another. • The movement of the particles in a liquid prevents a liquid from having a definite shape. * Liquids do have a definite volume

  14. Gases • The energy that binds particles in gases together is weak. • This allows the particles to move freely. *

  15. Gases • The free movement of gas particles allows a gas to expand or contract to fit its container. • As a result, a gas lacks a definite shape and its volume is decided by the container that holds the gas.

  16. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • When a substance takes in heat, its particles gain energy and move more quickly. • When a substance releases heat, its particles lose energy and move more slowly.

  17. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • If enough heat is added or removed from a substance, a change in the state of the substance occurs. • Adding heat to a solid causes the particles of the solid to gain energy. * This causes the particles to move faster and farther apart.

  18. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • If enough heat is added, the solid will change to a liquid. • When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, it is melting • The temperature at which a solid begins to change to a liquid is called its melting point.

  19. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • Each substance has its own melting point. • Particles in a liquid also move faster and spread apart when heat is added. • At a certain temperature, the particles gain enough energy that they begin to escape from the liquids surface and change to a gas.

  20. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • The process in which a liquid changes to a gas is called vaporization. * The temperature at which a liquid brings vaporizing or changing to a gas is called boiling point

  21. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • If heat is removed from a substance, its particles will lose energy, move more slowly and get closer together. * This can cause the substance to change states.

  22. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • Condensation is the changing of a substance from a gas to a liquid. • The temperature at which a substance condenses is the same as the temperature at which it boils.

  23. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • The difference is in the direction that the temperature has been moving, higher (boiling) or lower (condensing)

  24. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • Freezing refers to a change from the liquid state to the solid state. • The temperature at which liquid begins to change into a solid is called freezing point. • The freezing point and melting of a substance are identical.

  25. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • The term used depends on in which direction the temperature of the substance has been moving. • During a phases change, the temperature remains constant. • The temperature changes only after all of a substance has changed from one state to another.

  26. Heat Affects the Phase of a Substance • The temperature will then rise or fall depending on whether heat is being added or removed from a substance.

  27. Plasma • The fourth state of matter is plasma. • Plasma is a state of matter that forms when temperatures are high enough to remove electrons from their atoms. *

  28. Plasma • Plasma forms when a gas is heated to such a high temperature that the electrons in its atoms gain enough energy to escape from their atoms.
