  • Molecules and Matter
    • Density
      • p = m/v
      • mass(kg) / volume(m^3)
      • unit: kg/m^3
    • States of matter
      • changing state
        • Liquid
          • cools to solid
          • heated to gas
        • Solid
          • melts to liquid
          • sublimation to gas
        • Gas
          • condenses to solid and gas
      • solid
        • particles in fixed positions
        • least energetic
        • Vibrate constantly
      • Liquid
        • random movement
        • in contact with each other
        • more energetic than solid
      • Gas
        • move randomly and far apart
        • most energetic
    • changes of state
      • energy required
      • flat section of a temperature time graph gives the melting/ boiling point
    • internal energy
      • increasing temperature increase internal energy
      • temperature rises, kinetic energy of the particles rise
      • as it melts or boils the potential energy increases
    • Specific latent heat
      • latent heat is the energy needed for a substance to change its state without changing its temperature
      • specific latent heat of fusion
        • vaporisation
        • energy needed to melt or boil 1kg of a substance without changing temperature
      • E = m x L
        • energy = mass x latent heat of fusion
