Conservation of Mass

During a state change, the number of particles stays the same.
The mass before a state change equals the mass after – this is conservation of mass.
No particles are lost or gained; only their arrangement and energy change.

Particle Model of Solids

Particles are held together in a regular pattern.
They vibrate around fixed positions.
Heating increases vibrations until the melting point is reached.
Example: melting point of water is 0°C.

Melting (Solid → Liquid)

At the melting point, temperature stays constant while melting occurs.
Particles break free from fixed positions but remain in contact.
Once fully melted, particles can move past each other (liquid state).

Boiling (Liquid → Gas)

Heating a liquid makes particles move faster until the boiling point.
At boiling point, particles gain enough energy to separate from each other.
Gas particles are far apart and move quickly in random directions.
Example: boiling point of water is 100°C.

Condensation (Gas → Liquid)

Cooling a gas to its boiling point causes it to condense into a liquid.
Particles lose energy and come closer together.

Freezing (Liquid → Solid)

Cooling a liquid to its melting point causes it to freeze into a solid.
Particles become fixed in a regular pattern.

Sublimation and Deposition

Sublimation: solid changes directly into a gas (e.g., dry ice).
Deposition: gas changes directly into a solid (e.g., frost formation).

Summary of State Changes

Solid → Liquid: melting
Liquid → Gas: boiling/evaporation
Gas → Liquid: condensation
Liquid → Solid: freezing
Solid → Gas: sublimation
Gas → Solid: deposition

## Changes of State - **Conservation of mass**: During a state change, the number of particles stays the same, so mass before = mass after. - **Solid → Liquid**: Melting (at melting point). Particles vibrate more, break free from fixed positions but stay in contact. - **Liquid → Gas**: Boiling (at boiling point). Particles move fast enough to separate and move randomly. - **Gas → Liquid**: Condensation (at boiling point). - **Liquid → Solid**: Freezing (at melting point). - **Solid → Gas**: Sublimation (directly). - **Gas → Solid**: Deposition (directly). - **Melting point of water**: 0°C. - **Boiling point of water**: 100°C. - **Particle arrangement**: - Solid: Regular pattern, vibrate in fixed positions. - Liquid: Free to move past each other, still in contact. - Gas: Far apart, move quickly in random directions. - **During melting/boiling, temperature stays constant** until state change is complete. - **Heating increases particle movement**; cooling decreases it. - **Mass is conserved** in all state changes.

Conservation of mass: The mass before a state change is the same as the mass after a state change.
Melting point: The temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid (e.g., water at 0°C).
Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas (e.g., water at 100°C).
Melting: Change of state from solid to liquid.
Boiling: Change of state from liquid to gas.
Condensation: Change of state from gas to liquid.
Freezing: Change of state from liquid to solid.
Sublimation: Change of state from solid directly to gas.
Deposition: Change of state from gas directly to solid.
