The Particulate Nature of Matter


Ms. Rao

Particles
Particles?

Particles..
So what are these particles?
The smallest particles, that we cannot break down

further in chemical reaction, are called Atoms.


Derived from Greek Atomos = indivisible
Some particles are single atom- Eg: Argon
In many substances, the particles consist of two or
more atoms joined together --- ?
The substances the particles are atoms or group of
atoms that carry a charge ---?

Matter & Non-Matter


Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
There are 3 states of matter
a. Solids,
b. Liquids,
c. Gases

Mass = amount of Material


Volume = amount of Space
.Non- Matter : Energies such as Light, Sound,

Electricity, Magnetism, Heat.

Solids
Particles are packed closely together.
The particles cannot move freely but can only

vibrate in a fixed position.


Solids can be transformed into liquids by

melting, and liquids can be transformed into


solids by freezing.
Eg.: Wood, Metals (except mercury), Crystals,

Rubber etc.

Liquids
Liquids cannot be compressed and areable to

conform to the shape of its container.


This means that the shape of a liquid is not

definite but is determined by its container.


Eg. of Liquids: Water (H2O), Oil etc.
Liquid volume is slightly affected by change in

temperature.

Gases
A gas can be compressed. Not only will a gas

conform to the shape of its container but it will also


expand to fill the container.
In a gas, the molecules have enough kinetic energy

so that the effect of forces is small, and the typical


distance between neighbouring molecules is much
greater than the molecular size.
A liquid may be converted to a gas by heating to

the boiling point.

The Kinetic Theory of Matter


The theory explains the behaviour of matter and their

physical properties.
Kinetic means movement, and so kinetic energy
means movement energy.
The Kinetic theory of matter states Each matter has a different type of particle with
different size and mass.
Particles are in continuous movement.
The speed of movement depends on the mass of the
particle, temperature and several other factors that
you will know later on.

Checkpoint 1
Ques.
When a metal such as copper is heated, it expands.
Explain what happens to the metal particles as the
solid metal expands?
Ans.
. The particles in copper are vibrating about a fixed
point.
. As the temperature increases, they gain kinetic
energy and vibrate more, colliding with neighboring
particles, which has the effect of increasing the
overall volume of the metal.

Changes of State
Physical Changes (Change in State)
Physical changes are changes in which no new

substance is formed.
Eg. Melting an ice cube or dissolving salt in water.
Physical changes are reversible. For instance if you

heat and melt and ice cube to water, you can put it in
a freezer and have it changed back to ice.

Changes in State..
Changing the state of a matter is a Physical

change.
It is done by either heating or cooling.
The following diagram represents changes in

state:

Different States
Melting: The change of state from solid to liquid. The temperature at

which a solid melts is called the melting point.


Evaporation: The change of state from liquid to gas. The temperature at

which a liquid evaporates is called the boiling point.


Sublimation is the transition of a Solid to Gas phase without passing

through the intermediate Liquid phase.


Eg. Iodine, Dry Ice (solid carbon dioxide), Naphthalene (Mothball)
Iodine (I2) is Grey solid when heated it forms purple gaseous I2
Dry Ice is solid CO2, but when heated, it forms CO2 gas
Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is solid but when heated sublimes to gases NH3HCl
Deposition is the transition of a Gas to Solid phase without passing

through the intermediate Liquid phase. Its the reverse of sublimation.


Eg. Frost formation on leaves, Snow formation in clouds, Soot formation on chimney
walls.

Different States . .
Melting

- occurs when you heat a solid.


- Heating gives the particles more kinetic energy making them move
faster and further.
- Until at some point they have enough energy to overcome the forces
of attraction between the particles changing into a liquid.

Boiling

- occurs when you heat a liquid.


- Heating the liquid, particles will gain even more kinetic energy and
start moving even faster, pushing each other away.
- The particles have highest amount of energy that they can break the
forces of attraction and escape as a gas; this is the start of boiling.

Kinetic Theory
When Solid is heated

- Particles get energized, vibrate fast


- Attractive forces weaken and some break
- Particles move freely and become fairly apart
(liquid = melting)
- If a solid sublimes, all attractive forces break
and particles move fast (freely) and become
far apart. (becomes gas from solid =
sublimation)

Kinetic Theory . .
When a liquid is heated
. Particles get energized,
. move faster
. attractive forces break down
. particles become far apart

(it becomes gas = Vaporization)

Kinetic Theory
On the other hand, cooling of a gas will make

its particles lose their kinetic energy


Particles move closer and slower.
Eventually the forces of attraction will hold
them together forming a liquid
(condensation).
If a liquid is cooled, its particles will move

closer and slower until the forces of attraction


are strong enough to hold them tight together
forming a solid (freezing).

Kinetic Theory
During the process of melting and boiling the
temperature remain constant, because the
energy is used to break the bonds between
the particles.

Heating curve

The following figure is a heating curve of a solid.


At point A the state is solid.
At point B the solid is melting; it is a mixture of solid and liquid.
At point C the state is liquid.
At point D the liquid is evaporating, it is a mixture of liquid and
gas.
At point E the state is gas.
Temperature X is the melting point while temperature Y is the
boiling point.

Cooling Curve

The following figure is a cooling curve of a gas.


At point A the state is gas.
At point B the gas is condensing; the state is a mixture of gas and
liquid.
At point C the state is liquid.
At point D the liquid is freezing, the state is a mixture of liquid and
solid.
At point E the state is solid.
Temperature X is the melting point and temperature Y is the
boiling point.

Pressure and Temperature of a gas in


terms of the motion of its Particles
Temperature

The temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the kinetic


energy of the molecules. If the temperature of the gas increases particles
will have more energy and will move around faster.
Pressure

Gas molecules are in state of continuous motion in all directions and they
are constantly bombarding the walls of a container.
When the molecules bounce off the walls, they produce an outward force
on the walls which causes the outward pressure of the gas on the walls of
the container.
At a constant temperature, gas molecules move at a constant average
speed, so that the force of collision is the same (on average).
If the gas is compressed into a smaller volumes there are more frequent
collisions on each unit of area, so that the total force per unit area
increases and the pressure increases. If a gas expands to a greater volume
at a constant temperature, there are less frequent collision on each unit of
area and the pressure.

Questions

Answers
Displays, thermometers, and stress and pressure sensors.
The particles in gases have much weaker forces of attraction

between their particles, as the particles are already further


away from each other compared with those in a solid. These
weaker forces of attraction are more easily broken as
temperature rise, allowing the particles to move away from
one another more easily.
There is friction between the ice and the air as the car moves
through it. This produces heat which causes the ice to melt.
Adding salt to ice lowers the freezing point of the ice.
Providing the temperature is still not lower than that of the
mixture of salt and ice, the ice will melt.

Brownian Motion
A suspension is a mixture between two substances,

one of which is finely divided and dispersed in the


other. Common suspensions include sand in water
and dust in air. Particles when suspended in a fluid
exhibit a haphazard movement. This is known as
Brownian motion.
According to the kinetic theory of matter, molecules

at a temperature, T=0, possess kinetic energy,


which results in them moving in random motion.
These molecules hit particles around motion as well.
The existence of particles in continuous motion has
been demonstrated by Brownian motion.

Brownian motion in terms of random molecular


bombardment
Brownian motion is a zigzag, irregular, random

motion exhibited by minute particles in both


liquids and gases (collectively called fluids).
They do this because they are bombarded by
the other moving particles in the fluid.
(Diagram to be included)

motion

Diffusion
Diffusion is the random movement of particles to

fill the available space and spread evenly.


The movement of particles from a high

concentration region to a low concentration


region until concentration is equal.
For instance, if you pass by a trash can, you can
smell the ugly scent of trash. This is because
molecules from the garbage diffused out of the
can to the air which you breathed in.

Examples
Diffusion of soluble solid in water- potassium

permanganate
Diffusion of volatile liquids in air- Bromine
(gas)

Diffusion Rate

Diffusion rate depends on several factors a. Mass of the substance: The lighter the

substance, the faster it diffuses


b. Temperature: The more kinetic energy the
particles have, the faster they move and
diffuse.

Light particles diffuse faster than heavy

particles
Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to
molecular mass of particles.
