| Question | Answer |
| Solid state | fixed shape and volume; particles held together by intermolecular forces in a fixed position; particles can vibrate about a fixed point but do not have translational velocity |
| liquid state | fixed volume; takes shape of container; particles held closely together by intermolecular forces; particles have translational velocity so diffusion can occur |
| gaseous state | widely spaced particles that completely fill container; pressure of gas due to particles colliding with walls of container; intermolecular forces negligible; volume occupied by molecules negligible compared with total volume of gas; diffusion can occur |
| absolute temperature | proportional to its average kinetic energy (.5 mass) x (velocity squared) |
| melting | solid particles increase in temp as kinetic energy increases due to greater vibration of particles; when vibration is sufficient to overcome intermolecular forces holding the lattice together the solid melts. temp doesn't increase during melting |
| boiling | liquid particles move faster than solid; some move faster than others and escape from surface of liquid to form a vapour; when pressure of the vapour is equal to pressure above liquid, the liquid boils. temp remains same during boiling |
| Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution | shows the distribution of kinetic energies. |
| Why does a volatile liquid feel cold as it evaporates? | When a liquid evaporates it is the faster moving particles that escape so the average kinetic energy of the remaining particles is lower. |
| Ideal gas equation | PV=nRT; P=pressure; V=volume; n=number of moles; R=gas constant; T=temperature (K) |
| Real gases | have some attractive forces between particles; particles occupy some space. Real gases behave like an ideal gas at high temp and low pressure. |
