Complete a change of state diagram for water using words such as evaporation, melting, freezing, condensation, boiling.
Describe the physical changes that take place when particles change state.
Changing State
When substances are heated or cooled, they change from one state into another.
When a solid is heated, its particles move faster and faster unit they break away from their fixed positions (solid to liquid). More heating can cause them to fly away (liquid to gas). This can also be reversed by cooling.
Evaporation: (liquid to gas) by heating. Water is heated by the sun, turning into water vapour.
Condensation: (gas to liquid) by cooling. When water vapour is cooled, it changes back to a water droplet. (Imagine foggy windows on a cold day!)
When gas bubbles appear in a liquid it is said to be boiling. The temperature this occurs at is its boiling point (BP)- water is 100 degrees celcius.
Substances also have a melting point (MP)- the temperature for a solid to become a liquid. (Water is 1 degrees celcius)

1. As the ________________ in a solid get _______________, they vibrate faster and faster, until their mutual force of _____________________ is no longer ____________ enough to hold them together. This causes them to ________ out of their ________________________ pattern, which therefore __________ apart.
