Read 9.1 (pages 418 420) 1. Are there larger attractive forces between molecules of gases, liquids, or solids? Explain. 2. Which state(s) of matter have these properties: a) definite shape, b) definite volume, c) takes the shape its container, d) incompressible. 3. Explain the properties of the three states of matter by referring to the forces that exist in each (e.g. solids have intermolecular forces that are so strong that molecules are fixed in place. This gives solids a definite shape and volume. Solids are incompressible because their strong forces hold molecules tightly together, eliminating space between molecules. Repeat for liquids & gases.)
1. Solids have greater attractions, thats why they stay together (whereas gases disperse). 2. a) solids, b) solids & liquids, c) liquids & gases, d) solids & liquids. 3. Liquids have forces that are strong enough to keep their molecules together (thus, they are incompressible with a definite volume). However, these forces are not strong enough to fix molecules in place (shape is not fixed) Gases have forces so weak that, at room temperature, molecules move freely (shape & volume change). The large spaces between molecules makes gases compressible.
4. Temperature affects state. 5. The kinetic molecular theory. 6. 1- vibrational (small motion from side to side), 2- rotational (spinning), 3- translational (straight line motion). Solids: vibrational, Liquids: all, Gases: mostly translational, also rotational (and vibrational). 7. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Temperature = average kinetic energy 8. Not all molecules will be faster. However, the average speed will increase.
9. Only the fastest moving molecules are able to overcome the attractive forces of their neighbors and leave the surface of the liquid. The slower molecules are left behind. Thus the average kinetic energy (i.e. temperature) decreases. 10. Gas particles travel in a straight line until they hit another particle. A vacuum is devoid of molecules, so particles of a gas placed in a vacuum will not bump into anything until they hit the side of the container. Thus, a gas will diffuse faster in a vacuum.
Hot water
Explanation: heat increases the kinetic energy of liquid particles. The particles move faster (greater vibrational, rotational, and translational energy). This greater movement increases the distance between molecules. Thus, the volume expands.
Observations: beads are propelled upwards when mercury is heated. Explanation: heat increases the kinetic energy, so that the particles move faster. The fastest moving mercury molecules (that boil off) transfer their energy to the beads, causing them to jump. Would this work with water?
