CHAPTER 4: STATES OF MATTER<br />

Liquids can freeze to solids when cooled<br />

Freezing is the change of a liquid to a solid when cooled. It is the<br />

opposite of melting.<br />

The particles in a liquid have enough energy to move around each<br />

other. If you cool a liquid, you remove heat energy and cause the<br />

particles to move more slowly. If particles lose enough energy, they no<br />

longer move around, but instead just vibrate in place. The substance is<br />

now a solid.<br />

Freezing is when a liquid becomes which state of matter?<br />

Liquids can evaporate to gases when<br />

heated<br />

Evaporation is the change of a liquid to a gas.<br />

Evaporation can happen at any temperature. In any liquid, some of<br />

the particles will randomly have enough energy to break away from<br />

the others. These particles leave the surface of the liquid as a gas.<br />

Evaporation is the reason that a puddle will eventually shrink and<br />

disappear, even during cool weather.<br />

Boiling is evaporation that<br />

What is an example of evaporation?<br />

Gases can condense to liquids when cooled<br />

Condensation happens when a gas changes to a liquid when cooled.<br />

It is the opposite of evaporation.<br />

Gas particles move very quickly, so they remain separate from the<br />

other particles. However, if you remove heat energy and slow the particles<br />

down, they no longer have enough speed to overcome the attraction of<br />

the other particles. They move closer together to become a liquid.<br />

Have you ever seen water drops form on the outside of a cold glass<br />

of water? That’s condensation.<br />

What happens when gas particles slow down?<br />

CHECKPOINT 4.4<br />

1 Copy and complete these<br />

sentences.<br />

Changes in<br />

happen<br />

when heat<br />

is<br />

or<br />

from a substance.<br />

2 From each pair, identify which<br />

state of matter has particles<br />

with more energy.<br />

a Liquid or gas<br />

b Gas or solid<br />

c Solid or liquid<br />

3 Describe how heat energy<br />

affects what happens to the<br />

particles in:<br />

a a solid that is melting<br />

b a liquid that is evaporating<br />

c a gas that is condensing<br />

d a liquid that is freezing.<br />

4 Explain the difference<br />

between evaporation and<br />

condensation.<br />

5 Create a table to compare<br />

the amount of energy and<br />

distance between the particles<br />

in solids, liquids and gases.<br />

Hint: Use words such as high,<br />

low, close and far.<br />

EXTENSION<br />

6 Sublimation is when a<br />

substance changes from solid<br />

to gas, without becoming<br />

a liquid. Use evidence from<br />

the text to propose how this<br />

happens.<br />

SUCCESS CRITERIA<br />

I can describe what<br />

happens to particles during:<br />

melting<br />

freezing<br />

boiling<br />

condensation.<br />
