States of matter 2
Storyboard Text
- AHA! Now I am in liquid state! Due to the change in temperature, thermal energy increased causing my particles to lose attraction and turn into liquid! The particles in a liquid are close, but still have room to move around. Their attraction is strong, but it's not as strong as a solid's attraction. Since i'm a liquid, I can now flow, and I have an indefinite shape and definite volume! This process is known as melting! But, its not over just yet! Pour me into a pot and turn on the heat!
- Particles
- Woah!!! That's so cool!
- particles
- Whoo wee! I feel kinda dizzy! Now, due to the increase of thermal energy, the particles lose almost all of its attraction! Eventually, the particles soon break free from gravity and fly up and into the air! This state of matter is now known as gas. Gases can flow, like water and they have an indefinite volume and shape! Well, I'm getting kinda sleepy, could you take me somewhere cold?
- My bathroom is pretty cold... I can take you there!
- Good Observation! This is happening because thermal energy is being removed from the water vapour, which causes it to condense onto the cup. This caused the gas to go back to liquid form. If this same process were to happen to a liquid, then it would turn into a solid.
- What the heck! Why are there droplets forming all over your cup??
- Now, would you put me back into the freezer? Being a liquid for this long is taking quite a toll on me!
- Thank you so much for teaching me about phase changes! I really enjoyed it!
- No problem! I'll be in this freezer, if you need me anytime just call!!
- Finally, Mr. Phase change was back to solid form. The freezer removed even more thermal energy from the liquid, until the particles gained attraction and turned back into a solid.
