DESCRIPTION
Melting Solid Liquid As particles heat up, they gain kinetic energy and break loose and slide past one another. In most pure substances, melting occurs at a specific temperature, called the melting point. The melting point depends on how strongly its particles are attracted. Ex: Melting candle waxTRANSCRIPT
Phase Changes(Changes of State)
CA State Content Standards3e. Students know that in solids the atoms are closely locked in position and
can only vibrate; in liquids the atoms and molecules are more loosely connected and can collide with and move past one another; and in gases the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
5d. Students know physical processes include freezing and boiling, in
which a material changes form with no chemical reaction.
Melting
SolidLiquidAs particles heat up, they gain kinetic energy and break loose and slide past one another.
•In most pure substances, melting occurs at a specific temperature, called the melting point. The melting point depends on how strongly its particles are attracted.
Ex: Melting candle wax
Freezing
Liquid SolidWhen the temperature is lowered, its
particles lose energy and move more slowly. The attractions as they move slowly cause them to become a solid.
ICE
Freezing
Vaporization
• LiquidGasThe particles become too spread out and the attractive forces are too weak to keep
the particles close together.
Condensation
• GasLiquid• Occurs when thermal energy is removed,
particles move closer, and attractive forces hold them together.
Sublimation
• Solid directly to a gas (skips the liquid stage)
Deposition (desublimation)
• Gas to a solid without going through the liquid state
• An example is water vapor changing directly to ice as frost on leaves.

• Matter changing states
How can matter change from one state to another?
• Particles are constantly moving• Change in energy changes particle motion• Higher temperature causes particles to
move faster
