EXPLANATION
|
SOLID → LIQUID
MELTING
|
Heat the Solid until it Melts
Particles gain kinetic energy and vibrates faster, allowing particles to overcome forces of attraction that hold them together in the solid
Regular pattern is broken down and particles can now slide past one another
|
LIQUID → SOLID
FREEZING
|
Cool the Liquid until it Freezes
Particles lose kinetic energy, allowing forces of attraction between the particles to hold them together
- Particles arrange themselves into a regular pattern and are no longer able to slide past one another
|
LIQUID → GAS
EVAPORATING
|
Heat the Liquid until it Boils
Particles gain kinetic energy and move further apart, causing the forces of attraction between them to be completely broken and escape from liquid
|
GAS → LIQUID
CONDENSING
|
Cool the Gas until it Condenses
Particles lose kinetic energy and vibrates faster, allowing forces of attraction to bring particles closer together
Particles eventually clump together to form a liquid
|
SOLID → GAS
SUBLIMATION
|
Heat the Solid until it Sublimes
Particles gain kinetic energy and vibrates faster, causing forces of attraction between particles to be completely broken and escape from solid

ReplyDeleteDon't forget Deposition- gas to solid (opposite of sublimation).
ReplyDeleteYeah
Deletefor condensing- surely the particles do not vibrate more as they have LOST kinetic energy?
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteExcellent post.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice Post. This post is very helpful. Thanks.
