Phases of Matter

Aim: What are the properties of the phases of matter?

Phases of Matter

Phases of Matter- Water changes Microscopic Phase Views Play to 3:

Why does matter exist in different phases?

Predicting the Phase of Matter

To determine the phase of matter:

  • Identify the current temperature for the state of matter.
  • Compare this temperature to the melting point and

boiling point of the substance.

  • Temperature lower than MP ; phase= solid
  • Temperature between MP and BP; phase= liquid
  • Temperature above MP and BP; phase= gas Mercury has a MP of 234 K and a BP of 630. K therefore at 298 K (room temperature) it is a liquid. Oxygen has a MP of 54 K and a BP of 90. K therefore at 298 K (room temperature) it is a gas. Gold has a MP of 1337 K and a BP of 3129. K therefore at 298 K (room temperature) it is a liquid.

Solids

Solids: particles vibrating in a fixed regular geometric pattern. (Crystal lattice structure) Most elements exist as solids at STP. Most metals are solids at STP except for Mercury. Nonmetal solids- C,P, S, I 2 Metalloid solids- B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te.

Gases

Gases: particles that move in constant, random, straight-line motion. LARGE amount of space between particles. 11 gaseous elements: H 2
