GASES
HOW THE PARTICLES ARE ARRANGED
Water can change from solid to liquid to gas. Its particles do not change. They are the
same in each state. But their arrangement changes. The same is true for all substances.
SOLID
The particles in a solid are
packed tightly in a fixed
pattern. There are strong
forces holding them
together. So they cannot
leave their positions. The
only movements the make
are tiny vibrations to and
fro Particles in a solid
GAS
The particles in a gas are far
apart and they move about
very quickly. There are
almost no forces holding
them together. They collide
with each other bounce off
in all directions
Particles in gases

MOLECULAR COMPARISON OF GASES, LIQUID AND SOLID
Gases:
Liquids:
Solids:

Solid state
The solid ones are characterized for its intermolecular attractive forces are intense
enough therefore it has form and volume constants. This owes to that the particles that
they them form are joined by a few big attractive forces so that they occupy almost fixed
positions.
In the solid state the particles only can move vibrating or ranging about fixed positions,
but they cannot move moving freely along the solid one. The particles in the solid state in
strict sense, they arrange of tidy form, with a spatial geometric regularity, which gives
place to diverse crystalline structures.
Liquid State
In the liquids the particles are joined by a few minor attractive forces that in the solid
ones, for this reason the particles of a liquid can move with freedom.
The intermolecular attractive forces are strong enough as to support together molecules.
This way, the liquids are much denser and much less compressible than the gases. The
liquids have a definite volume, independent from the size and the form of his container.
The number of particles for unit of volume is very high, for it the collisions and frictions
are very frequent between them. This way it explains that the liquids should not have
fixed form and should adopt the form of the container that contains them.
We call to solid and liquid condensed phases.
Gasseosus state
They consist of a collection of molecules separated by big distances and of constant
movement. The kinetic average energy of the molecules is very much major that the
energy happens of attractions between them, the lack of attractive forces allows to a gas
to expand up to filling the container that contains it.

CHANGING STATE
When a body, for action of the heat or of the pressure it happens from a condition to
other one, we say that it has changed state.
Melting
When a solid is heated, its particles get more energy and vibrate more. This makes the
solid expand. The melting point is the temperature that must reach a solid substance to
fuse. Before this, the particles are arranged and move ranging about his positions, the
particles gain energy and move more fast, but his positions preserve.
At the melting point, the particles vibrate so much and the speed of the particles is it
sufficiently high in order that some of them could conquer the attractive forces of the
solid state and they leave the fixed positions that occupy. Finally the solid becomes liquid.

HOW MUCH HEAT IS NEEDED?
The amount of heat needed to melt anyone substance is different for the others
substance. Thats because the particles in each substance are different, with different
forces between them. For the stronger forces, the heat energy needed to overcome
them is more. For example, the melting point of the pure water is 0 C to the atmospheric
normal pressure.
Boiling
It is realized when the temperature of the totality of the liquid is equal to the boiling-point
of the liquid to this pressure. If it is continued warming the liquid, this one absorbs the
heat, but without increasing the temperature: the heat uses in the conversion of the
matter in liquid state to the gaseous state, until the totality of the mass goes on to the
gaseous state. In this moment it is possible to increase the temperature of the matter,
already as gas.
This process is very different from the evaporation, which is gradual and for the one that,
in top altitudes, the atmospheric average pressure diminishes, for what the liquid needs
minor temperatures to enter boiling.
5
This makes the liquid expand. At the boiling point, the particles get enough energy to
overcome the forces between them. They break away to form a gas:
Slow moving particles liquid the particles move faster the particles get enough energy to escape
6
Evaporating
We call evaporation when the liquid state changes slowly to gaseous state, after having
acquired sufficient energy to conquer the superficial tension. Unlike the boiling, the
evaporation takes place to any temperature, being more rapid higher this.
Though change of the gas to liquid depends, between other factors, on the pressure and
on the temperature, generally it is called a condensation to the traffic that takes place to
pressures near to the environmental one. When an overpressure is used raised to force
this transition, the process is named a liquefaction.
7
In the solidification the liquid is cooled, the particles slow down even more. Eventually
they stop moving, except for tiny vibrations, and solid forms.
Sublimation
The sublimation or volatilization is the process that consists of the change of solid state to
the gaseous state without happening for the liquid state. The inverse process is named
deposition or regressive sublimation; it is to say, the direct step of the gaseous state to the
solid state.

How to make a liquid becomes solid?
Cornstarch Experiment
Materials
1. cornmeal
2. spoon
3. container
4. water bottle
Development
Medley the water with cornmeal in the bowl
Dissolve with spoon until dough is made
Release a lock on the mass, strong and slow
Hit the dough with your hands, then tried to sink slowly.
Conclusions
A liquid can move to solid state or vice versa.
Solids have impact resistance.
The strong intermolecular forces are greater than in the liquid
Experiment N 02

Materials
1. A container
2. A Candle
3. Water
4. A glass beaker

Development
The cube has to be in a glass of water
Thread together with ice
Add salt on the hub and thread
We take the thread and seeing that we pull up the bucket straight sticks
Conclusions
The freezing process in solids depends on its temperature
The solids heat exchange
The salt is frozen because it receives a low temperature of the ice, first creating a
layer of water and then frozen at low temperatures

Experiment N 03
The water suspension
Materials
1. a glass jar
2. a water bottle
3. cloth mosquetera
4. a container
5. adhesive tape
Development
With fabric-covered mosquetera mouth glass jar and set with adhesive tape.
Add water-half of the flask and cover with the board
-We turn the bottle gently and remove the cardboard where we observed that the
water does not fall while in balance.
Conclusions
Water does not fall due to the sum of atmospheric pressure and surface tension of the
molecules to support the weight of the water. If we turn the boat we apply more tension
on one side and the imbalance of forces produce water drops breaking the surface
tension.
Experiment N 04
Differences of a body liquid, solid and gas
Materials
1. a solid body
2. a glass with water
3. flask
4. syringe
14
Procedure
Pressed the solid and try to break it trying to compress and stretch.
We move the water in the container to a flask. Then with a syringe absorb and try
to compress it.
With a syringe full of air compress treatment.
Conclusions
The shape of the solids is maintained and it is difficult to modify, also retain their
size.
The liquid because they have no defined shape adapted to the shape of the
container, cannot compress.
Gases are adapted to the container and do not retain their shape and size.

5. A rule
Procedure
Measure the volume of solid
Ice-heat the liquid to be
Add the liquid to the graduated cylinder and measure the volume
Comparing the two measured volumes
Conclusion
The volume in the solids is greater than in the liquid, because the intermolecular distance
in the liquid is greater than in the solids.
