U6 Due Monday 20th September [Scanned]

Give descriptions to show understanding of the following.  There will be a test on Monday. 

 

(a) describe solids, liquids and gases in terms of the spacing, ordering and motion of atoms or molecules;

 

(b) describe a simple kinetic model for solids, liquids and gases;

 

(c) describe an experiment that demonstrates Brownian motion and discuss the evidence for the movement of molecules provided by such an experiment;

 

(d) define the term pressure and use the kinetic model to explain the pressure exerted by gases;

 

(e) define internal energy;

 

(f) explain the difference between heat and temperature;

 

(g) explain why temperature does not change during a change of state;

 

(h) describe using a simple kinetic model for matter the terms melting, boiling and evaporation.
