Most solids with particles in repeating geometric patterns are crystals. Those with particles
arranged randomly are amorphous. Glasses are one type of amorphous solid

Plasmas
Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Plasmas
Plasmas have an indefinite shape and an
indefinite volume because the particles can move past one another.
Plasmas are easily compressible because
there is a great deal of free space between particles.
Plasmas are good conductors of
electricity and are affected by magnetic fields because they are composed of ions (negatively charged electrons and

Heat of Fusion
The heat required to convert a substance from the solid to the
liquid phase is known as the heat of fusion
The heat of fusion is a property of the

Heat of Vaporization
The heat required to convert a substance
from the liquid to the gas phase is known as the heat of vaporization
The heat of vaporization for a substance depends on the temperature
For water the heat of vaporization is about 2240 Joules per gram
The heat required to
vaporize a substance is
Evaporation
• The molecular velocities of the particles in the liquid phase vary according to a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution
• The faster moving particles at the surface may escape the confines of the liquid entirely.
• Some particles in the vapor phase may be recaptured by the liquid.
• Since the higher energy particles are more likely to escape the average energy of the liquid particles is reduced.
• Evaporation is a cooling effect, while condensation is a

Boiling Point
Boiling Point
Liquids boil when the external pressure equals the vapor
pressure.
The vapor pressure of a liquid increases with temperature The temperature of boiling point increases as pressure
increases.
There are two ways to get a liquid to boil: increase
temperature or decrease pressure.
Pressure cookers operate at high pressure. At high
pressure the boiling point of water is higher than at 1 atm. Therefore, there is a higher temperature at which the
food is cooked, reducing the cooking time required.

Phase Diagrams
Phase Diagrams
A Phase Diagram is a graph of pressure vs. Temperature
summarizing all equilibria between phases.
Given a temperature and pressure, phase diagrams tell us
which phase(s) will exist.
Key Features of a phase diagram:
Vapor-pressure curve: generally as pressure increases,
temperature increases.
Melting point curve: as pressure increases, the solid
phase is favored if the solid is more dense than the liquid
Triple point: temperature and pressure at which all three phases are in equilibrium.
Normal boiling and melting points (I.e. at 1 atm)
Critical point: critical temperature and pressure for the

Specific Heat
The ability of a material to absorb and
release heat depends on its composition

20.0 g of ice at -10.0oC is heated until it melts and the is
further heated to a final temperature of 40.0oC. Calculate
the total heat change for the ice. The heat of fusion of ice is 335 Jg-1. The specific heat of ice is 2.05 Jg-1 oC-1 and
that of liquid water is 4.18 J g-1 oC-1 .
