Presentation Transcript

  1. Liquids and Solids Liquids

  2. Objectives • Identify and explain the properties of liquids according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory • Describe the process in which liquids turn to gases. • Describe the process in which liquids turn to solids

  3. Properties of Liquids • Definite Volume • No definite shape • Less K.E. than gases • Intermolecular forces hold particles together • Constant motion of particles allows liquids to flow. • Gases and liquids are both fluids

  4. Liquids • Liquids are the least common state of matter in the universe. • Substances exist in the liquid phase in a narrow window of temperatures.

  5. Liquids • High density • Particles are close together • Most substances are slightly less dense in the liquid state as compared to the solid state • Densities of liquid substances vary.

  6. Liquids • Relatively incompressible • Particles are close together. • Able to readily diffuse. • Constant motion of particles • Diffusion of liquids is slower than for gases due to the particles being close together Animation: How Diffusion Works

  7. Liquids • Surface tension – a force that pulls adjacent parts of a liquid’s surface together, resulting in the smallest possible surface area • Capillary action is a closely relate property

  8. Evaporation and Boiling • Vaporization – process in which a liquid turns to a gas • evaporation – vaporization that occurs below the boiling point • Boiling – occurs at the boiling point.

  9. Formation of Solids • Freezing – change from a liquid to a solid • Low kinetic energy results in particles being more attracted to each other and the formation of a more ordered structure
