States of Matter Symposium

Chapter 10 Objectives

  • describe the motion of gas particles according to kinetic molecular theor
  • interpret gas pressure in terms of kinetic theory
  • describe the nature of a liquid in terms of the attractive forces between the particles
  • differentiate between evaopration and boiling point of a liquid using kinetic theory
  • describe how the degree of organization of particles distinguishes solids from gases and liquids
  • distinguish between a crystal lattice and a unit cell
  • explain how allotropes of an element differ
  • interpret the phase diagram of water at any given temperature and pressure
  • describe the behavior of solids that change directly to the vapor state and recondense to solids without passing through the liquid state
