Heating and Cooling During Phase Changes
Description
Heating and cooling can change a substance from one state of matter to another. These phase changes depend on internal energy, which is the total kinetic energy of particles and the potential energy from their interactions. In the condensed phases, stronger intermolecular forces and the pressure on the substance affect that ...

Transcript
Matter typically exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state. In gases, the high-energy molecules move quickly and are far apart, so attractive intermolecular forces are weak.
Changes in temperature, pressure, or both can trigger phase transitions, or phase changes, between states of matter.
During these transitions, energy flows...
