Question

NAME the four phases of matter and DESCRIBE how the intermolecular forces and kinetic energy change as you change phases.

Answer 1

Answer: Substances on Earth can exist in one of four phases, but mostly, they exist in one of three: solid, liquid or gas. Learn the six changes of phase: freezing, melting, condensation, vaporization, sublimation and deposition. Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules that determine the physical properties of liquids and solids. 11.2 Vaporization and Vapor Pressure— vaporization is the conversion of a liquid to a gas (vapor), and the quantity of heat associated with this phase change is known as the enthalpy (heat) of vaporization. When kinetic energy is increasing molecules are simply moving faster. However, when the potential energy is increasing molecules are changing phases. Therefore, when the potential energy is increasing is when the molecule is changing phases. Phase changes require either the addition of heat energy (melting, evaporation, and sublimation) or subtraction of heat energy (condensation and freezing). ... Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change.

HOpe this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! :D
