Resource summary
Particle Model of Matter
Explains the three states of matter
Solid
Fixed, regular arrangement
High density
Vibrate slightly
Liquid
Particles can move past each other easily
Less dense
More energy than solids
Gas
Free to move independantly
low density
high energy
Density
Density = mass/volume
you can measure density by measuring water displacement with a eureka can then using the displaced water as your volume for the object
Internal energy
Internal energy is the energy the particles have as a combination of their kinetic and potential energy stores
specific latent heat
energy goes into breaking bonds instead of increasing temperature
The energy needed for 1 kg of a substance to change state
Energy = mass * specific latent heat
Pressure and gasses
When gasses collide with a container, pressure occurs as the net force pushes outwards
Pressure and volume are inversely proportional at a constant temperature
