Chapter 8 States of Matter ALABAMA 8TH GiDE SCIENCE STANDARDS COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER INCLUDE: 7 Describe the states of mailer based on kinetic energy of particles in matter. Have you ever looked at a pot of boiling water? The water is a liquid, but the bubbles are a gas. And how about this: have you ever seen a half-frozen ice cube with water trapped in ice pockets? Here we have a solid (ice) that is surrounding the liquid water. Water can be found in solid, liquid and gas forms. How does that happen? s INKS g’1:r MWW 4 Solid, liquid and gas are the names of different physical forms of matter, or phases These are called states of matter ABç31 0 • • • Solids are made of closely-packed atoms or molecules, and maintain a rigid form without a container. Solids are incompressible, meaning that they cannot be “squeezed” down to a smaller size. Liquids are made of closely associated atoms or molecules, and will flow to conform to the shape of a container. Liquids are mostly incompressible. Gases are made of mostly unassociated atoms or molecules, and will expand to fill a container. Gases are compressible, meaning that their volume can be reduced by applying force. What causes matter to be in a certain phase? . c ; Substances are in certain phases depending on the amount of motion between its particles. So, each state of matter can be described according to its molecular motion. Energy in motion is called kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it possesses because of its motion. Typically, the higher an object’s temperature is, the greater its energy and the motion between its particles. The temperature of an object 69 States of Matter describes its thermal energy. Thermal energy is a type ofkinetic energy. Adding or subtracting heat (heating or cooling) changes matter from one state to another. In general, the gaseous state of a substance has the most thermal energy, and its solid state has the least thermal energy.

This mean they have low kinetic energy. The atoms are locked in position near each other. Sometimes they are in very fixed, structured positions. This is referred to as a crystaffine solid. Examples are salt, diamond, quartz and ice. LC) CD c.I CD CD LLi 0 -J Figure 8.2 Crystalline Solids 0 z 0 0 > Other times, the solid has no structure to it; these are amorphous solids.

You might think there is no motion at all, but that is not so! Each atom still has energy associated with it, so it must move. In fact, atoms in the solid phase vibrate. You can think of them as small children that have been told to sit in a chair; since they cannot get up, they squirm around in place. $o, OOQQ 0 0 ((0)) 0 ((0)) 0 OOQQ O O5Oo 0 As the temperature of a solid increases, the amount of vibration increases (and amount ofkinetic energy). The solid will keep its shape until the amount ofenergy added is greater figure 8.4 Particle Motion in Solids than the attractive forces between the atoms. Now the atoms start to move, forming a liquid. Particles can vibrate, but remain in fixed positions with strong association between them. LIQuIDs In liquids, atoms can move past one another and bump into each other. This is why liquids can “flow” to take the shape oftheir container. However, they still remain relatively close to each other, like solids. As the temperature (and motion of the atoms) of a liquid is increased, the amount of movement of individual atoms increases. They bump into each other with increasing thermal energy. Eventually, some particles have enough energy to “escape.” These atoms have entered the gas phase.

There is little attraction between particles. Particles can vibrate, rotate and translate. Particles are not fixed, but do associate with one another. Atoms and molecules in the gas phase have little interaction with each other, beyond occasionally bumping into one that is, there are few another. Gases have a low density particles occupying a given space. Increasing the temperature of a gas increases the movement of the gas particles. If they are placed in a container at fixed volume, this increased movement will cause them to hit the walls of that container with greater frequency and greater force. This creates increased pressure. Figure 8.6 Particle Motion in Gases From this discussion, you have seen that increasing the thermal energy of a given material increases the motion of the atoms or molecules of the material. This is summed up in Figure 8.7.

If we want to look at it Figure 8.8 Density Differences mathematically, the formula for density is d mlv, where d stands for density, m stands for mass and v stands for volume. To put it another way, density is the amount ofmafter you have to fill in a specific space. When there is more matter in a given space, it is more dense. Let’s go back to our high energy situation. When there is a high amount of kinetic energy it means the molecules are moving very fast. .so fast that they cannot stay together. They spread out and as a result fewer of them remain in a given space. . .‘ : ;•.f1 = . Solids comprise the densest phase of matter, followed by liquids, and in a distant third are gasses. PHASE TRANSITIoNS The transformation ofmatter from one state to another is called a phase transition. Phase transitions occur at very precise points, when the energy of motion (measured as temperature) in the atoms is too much or too little for the atom to remain in their current state. 0 0 0 0 0 0 g . g 0 E Phase transitions are explained in Table 8.1 and Figure 8.9. - 3 . 0, Co CD C4 Co Co C?

Now, let’s look back at our old friend WATER, and examine its phase changes more closely. 72 0 z 0 0 C CC D.

However, at 100 °C, water will begin to undergo a phase transition from liquid to gas. At this point, (at least for a little while) the energy added to the liquid will not go into increasing the temperature. Instead, it willbe used to send molecules ofwater into the gas state. So, no matter how high the flame is on the stove, a pot ofboiling water will remain at 100 °C until all ofthe water has undergone transition to the gas phase! Said another way, turning up the stovetop heat will accelerate the liquid-to-gas transition, but it will not change the temperature of the water. Figure 8.10 illustrates how this works.
