Standard
• PS 3.7 - Explain the process of phase
change in terms of temperature, heat
transfer, and particle arrangement
Temperature
• Temperature - the term used to
describe the average kinetic energy of
the particles in a substance
• Kinetic energy is the type of energy
associated with motion
• The faster particles are moving at
higher temperatures
Phase Change - What does it have
to do with The Kinetic Theory?
• Phase change is due to changing the
movement (energy) of the particles
Freezing/Melting Point
• The freezing or melting point is the
temperature where a phase change occurs
between a liquid and a solid.
• If heat is being added at this temperature
attractions between particles will break
and a solid will melt
• If heat is being taken away attractions will
form between particles and a liquid will
freeze.
Boiling Point
• Boiling Point is the temperature where a
liquid is changing to a gas throughout
the liquid.
• Boiling occurs when the bubbles of
the vapor are formed
What affect does adding energy have?
