Phases of Matter (X'Zavier Dingle and Blake Drotleff) by X'zavier Dingle https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm Made with an aura of mystery en-us 2017-09-15 10:41:54 UTC 2024-03-28 13:50:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Soccerball.png Liquids xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880483 A liquid is a nearly in compressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape. A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by inter molecular bonds. Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density. A distinctive property of the liquid state is surface tension, leading to wetting phenomena.]]> 2017-09-15 10:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880483 Gases xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880516 Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles]]> 2017-09-15 10:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880516 Solids xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880528 Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being liquid, gas, and plasma). It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas does. The atoms in a solid are tightly bound to each other.]]> 2017-09-15 10:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880528 Melting xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880606 Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point. At the melting point, the ordering of ions or molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state, and the solid melts to become a liquid.]]> 2017-09-15 10:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880606 Freezing xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880621
Freezing, or solidification, is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. For most substances, the melting and freezing points are the same temperature; however, certain substances possess differing solid–liquid transition temperatures It melts at 85 °C (185 °F) and solidifies from 32 °C to 40 °C (89.6 °F to 104 °F).

The other type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid phase.]]> 2017-09-15 10:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880658 Condensation xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880687 Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of evaporation. The word most often refers to the water cycle. It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapour to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within the atmosphere. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, the change is called deposition (or desublimation, see Sublimation (phase transition).]]> 2017-09-15 10:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880687 Sublimation xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880707 Sublimation is the phase transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.Sublimation is an endothermic process that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram.]]> 2017-09-15 10:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880707 Plasma xdingle776 https://padlet.com/xdingle776/rthwbw3919zm/wish/187880740 Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, while the others are solid, liquid, and gas. Unlike these three states of matter, plasma does not naturally exist on the Earth under normal surface conditions, and can only be artificially generated from neutral gases.
