State of

Matter

The particles in a substance stay the same when it

Change of State changes state - only their closeness, arrangement
Substances can change state, usually when they are or motion change. This means that:
heated or cooled. The arrangement and motion of  the chemical nature of the substance itself
the particles in a substance change when it changes stays the same
state.  the mass of the substance stays the same
When a substance is heated, its internal energy For example, 10 g of water boils to form 10 g of
increases: steam, or freezes to form 10 g of ice. This is called
 the movement of its particles increases conservation of mass.
 bonds between particles break when a
substance melts or evaporates, or sublimes to form
a gas from a solid
When a substance is cooled, its internal energy
decreases:
 the movement of its particles decreases
 bonds between particles form when a
substance condenses or freezes, or sublimes to
form a solid from a gas

Evaporation happens
below the boiling point
of a liquid. When the
liquid reaches its boiling
point, evaporation
happens very quickly
and the liquid boils.

EXERCISE
1. This question is about
liquids.
 When a liquid is put into a beaker it takes on
the shape of the beaker.
Why do liquids take on the shape of the
beaker?
Tick (V) the boxes next to two correct answers.
Liquids have no fixed shape.
Liquids have no fixed volume.
Liquid particles only vibrate.
The particles in a liquid expand.
The particles in a liquid move around.
2. Tick (√) two reasons why particles in a solid
cannot spread out.
The particles are already too far
apart.
The particles in a solid do not move
around.
Solids have a fixed shape.
Solids can only take on the shape of
a container.
The pressure in a solid is too great.
3. The diagram shows the particles in liquid water.
Complete this diagram to show the particles in
solid ice.
4. Solids can change state to become gases.
Look at the diagram to show the changes in
state.
