STATES OF MATTER

http://www.uen.org/core/science/sciber/sciber7/matter/html/STATES.HTM

MATTER

• Affected by temperature and pressure

• A change in temperature and or pressure can change the state of matter of a substance

Kinetic Theory – Energy in MotionThree assumptions of how particles in matter behave

1. All matter is made of small particles -

atoms, molecules and ions

2. These particles are in constant motion. The motion has no pattern.

3. These particles are colliding or crashing into each other and into the walls of their container.

Temperature

• Measure of the average kinetic energy of the vibrating or moving atoms or molecules of a substance

• Absolute zero= no movement

• Heat= the total kinetic energy of a substance

Pressure

• Definition= the force per unit area applied on a surface in a perpendicular direction

Solid

• Low temperature and/or high pressure

• Low kinetic energy

• Can be an atom, ion or molecule

• Usually in crystalline form, although some are glass

• Definite pattern resulting in definite shape and definite volume

Amorphous solids

• A solid that doesn’t form crystals

• Doesn’t have a long-range repeating pattern in the positions of its atoms or molecules.

Liquid

• Less pressure, more kinetic energy

• Definite volume, no definite shape

• Melting point= the vibrations of the particles cause the forces holding the solid together to break

Gas

• Less pressure, more kinetic energy

• No definite shape, no definite volume

• Evaporation= boiling point= gas

• Would escape to space if not for the Earth’s gravity

Plasma

• At temperatures above

5000°C, violent collisions

cause electrons to be

knocked off

• Stars, lightning, neon signs

Condensation

• Change in matter to a denser stage through colder temperatures or more pressure

Sublimation

• Solid-->Gas

• Carbon dioxide (dry ice), Naphthelene (moth balls) and snow sublime

Conservation of Matter and Energy

• During an ordinary chemical change, there is no detectable increase or decrease in the quantity of matter.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change its form.

• E = [ mo2c4 + p2c2 ] ½

BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

• A DILUTE GAS OF WEAKLY INTERACTING BOSONS (SUBATOMIC PARTICLES THAT OBEY BOSE-EINSTEIN STATISTICS)

• COOLED CLOSE TO ABSOLUTE ZERO

• OCCUPY THE LOWEST QUANTUM STATE

• ALL ATOMS BECOME IDENTICAL

• Predicted 1924... ...Created 1995

• A. Einstein S. Bose

Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman

OTHERS

• GLASS• DIFFERENT CRYSTALLINE FORMS

– LIQUID CRYSTAL– DISORDERED CRYSTALS (PLASTIC CRYSTALS)– MAGNETICALLY ORDERED

• LOW TEMPERATURE STATES: – SUPERFLUIDS– BOSE EINSTEIN– FERMIONIC CONDENSATES– RYDBERG MOLECULES– QUANTUM HALL STATES– STRANGE MATTER
