Changes of State

15. SOLIDS
• Strong forces of
attraction
• held in fixed position
• lattice arrangement
• don’t move, so have
definite shape and volume
• vibrate

16. SOLIDS
• as they become hotter,
the particles vibrate more.
• so they expand
• can’t be compressed
• generally very dense

17. SOLIDS
• when heated, molecules
gain energy.
• they vibrate more and
more
• strong forces are
overcome, molecules start
to move = MELTED

18. LIQUIDS
• Some attraction between
molecules.
• free to move
• no definite shape, but
take shape of container
• molecules in constantly
random motion

19. LIQUIDS
• when heated, they move
faster and expand
• can’t be compressed
• quite dense

20. LIQUIDS
• heat makes the molecules
move faster as they gain
energy.
• fast moving molecules at
the surface will overcome
forces of attraction and
escape = EVAPORATION

21. GASES
• no force of attraction
• free to move, travel in
straight lines
• sometimes collide
• no definite shape or
volume, expand to fill space

22. GASES
• exert pressure on wall of
container
• constantly moving randomly
• move faster when heated
• can be compressed
• very low densities

23. GASES
• when heated enough,
molecules have enough speed
and energy to overcome
forces and escape each
other.
• molecules break away in big
bubbles of gas = BOILING

1.4 describe simple experiments leading to the
idea of the small size of particles and their
movement including:
i dilution of coloured solutions
ii diffusion experiments
1.5 understand the terms atom and molecule
1.6 understand the differences between
elements, compounds and mixtures
1.7 describe techniques for the separation of
mixtures, including simple distillation, fractional
distillation, filtration, crystallisation and paper
chromatography.

27. Evidence of particles
Particles are very, very small, but what evidence
do we have that they actually exist?
Two simple experiments help us to prove their
existence:
1.Dilution of coloured solutions
2.Diffusion experiments

28. Dilution of coloured solutions
Blue copper sulphate crystal

29. Dilution of coloured solutions

33. Dilution of coloured solutions
Serial dilution of a solution such as
copper sulphate provides evidence
that the original crystal was made
up of many small particles that
spread out evenly when the solution
is diluted by adding water.

34. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Spray air freshener in the
corner of a room

35. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Particles spread
out in all
directions

36. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Eventually the particles occupy
the whole room

37. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Other examples of diffusion
include:
Smell of frying bacon from a
kitchen
Leaking of air from inside a
balloon
Sugar dissolving in a cup of tea

38. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Diffusion is the movement of
particles from areas of high
concentration to areas of low
concentration until they are
evenly spread. Diffusion
depends upon the random
movement of particles.

39. Evidence of particles – diffusion experiments
Diffusion is the movement of
particles from areas of high
concentration to areas of low
concentration until they are
evenly spread. Diffusion
depends upon the random
movement of particles.
Diffusion is slower in liquids
than in gases because liquid
particles are not as free to
move as gas particles.

40. Atoms and Molecules
The basic building blocks of everything that we
see in the Universe are atoms. The word ‘atom’
basically means ‘indivisible’.

41. Atoms and Molecules
The basic building blocks of everything that we
see in the Universe are atoms. The word ‘atom’
basically means ‘indivisible’.
Combinations of atoms are called molecules.
For example:
O

H
2
O - a molecule of water

1.Particles in a compound are very difficult to separate.
2.The properties of a compound are very different to the
properties of the original elements.

48. You need to be able to describe techniques for
separating mixtures.

49. You need to be able to describe techniques for
separating mixtures.
Filtration
Simple distillation
Fractional distillation
Crystallisation
Paper chromatography

50. Filtration
Filtration depends
upon the different
size of particles in
a mixture.
The filtrate passes
through the filter
paper, the residue
is left behind.
The technique is used to
separate an insoluble solid
from a liquid, eg. sand and
water.

51. Simple distillation
Simple distillation
depends upon the
different boiling
points in a mixture.
The lowest boiling
point evaporates
first and can be
collected
The technique is used to
separate a soluble solid and
a liquid, eg. pure water
from salty water.

52. Fractional distillation
Fractional
distillation is used
to separate two
liquids that have
different boiling
points.
The technique is used to
separate mixtures such as
ethanol and water

53. Crystallisation
Crystallisation is
used to separate a
soluble solid from a
liquid when you
want to collect the
solid.
The technique is used to
separate mixtures such as
salt and water when the
salt is required.

54. Paper chromatography
Chromatography is
used to separate
and identify
mixtures that are,
or can be, coloured.
The technique is used to
separate mixtures such as
the pigments in an ink
sample.

1.8 recall that atoms consist of a central nucleus,
composed of protons and neutrons,
surrounded by electrons, orbiting in shells
1.9 recall the relative mass and relative charge of a
proton, neutron and electron
1.10 understand the terms atomic number, mass
number, isotopes and relative atomic
mass (Ar)
1.11 calculate the relative atomic mass of an element
from the relative abundances of its
isotopes
1.12 understand that the Periodic Table is an
arrangement of elements in order of atomic
number
1.13 deduce the electronic configurations of the first
20 elements from their positions in the
Periodic Table
1.14 deduce the number of outer electrons in a main
group element from its position in the
Periodic Table.

56. The size of an atom
This is the head of a pin. Millions of atoms would fit
onto it.

57. A spoonful of sugar
A spoonful of sugar would contain about:
602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms!

58. So, atoms are
very, very,
small!

59. An atom is the smallest particle of an element
that can exist.
Cut a diamond up with a “magic knife” until
you have the smallest piece possible, and
you have a ….
CARBON ATOM

PURE substance, so it
contains particles of only
ONE kind …

62. THE ATOM
THE NUCLEUS

63. THE ATOM
THE NUCLEUS
• middle of the atom
• contains protons and neutrons
• positive charge (protons are
positive)
• almost all atom mass is
concentrated in the nucleus
• tiny compared to the atom as
a whole

64. THE ATOM
THE ELECTRONS

65. THE ATOM
THE ELECTRONS
• move around the nucleus
• Negatively charged
• tiny, but cover a lot of space
• orbit volume determines size
of the atom
• virtually no mass
• occupy orbits or shells around
the nucleus

66. FACTS ABOUT THE
ATOM!

67. FACTS ABOUT THE
ATOM!
1.NEUTRAL ATOMS HAVE NO CHARGE OVERALL
2. CHARGE ON THE ELECTRONS IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE
CHARGE ON THE PROTONS BUT OPPOSITE
3. IN A NEUTRAL ATOM THE NUMBER OF ELECTRONS
EQUALS THE NUMBER OF PROTONS
4. ELECTRONS MAY BE LOST OR GAINED. THE ATOM THEN
BECOMES CHARGED, AND IS KNOWN AS AN ION
5. NEUTRON NUMBERS ARE USUALLY JUST A BIT HIGHER
THAN PROTON NUMBERS, BUT CAN CHANGE

77. What is an isotope?
ISOTOPES ARE: different atomic forms of the
same element, having the same number of
PROTONS but different numbers of NEUTRONS

78. What is an isotope?
ISOTOPES ARE: different atomic forms of the
same element, having the same number of

Chemical properties are the same because the different number of
neutrons in the nucleus doesn’t affect the chemical behaviour at all.

81. What is RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS?
By definition: “mass of a particular atom
compared to the mass of an atom of hydrogen”

82. What is RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS?
By definition: “mass of a particular atom

an element, and so calculate the
number of protons, neutrons and
electrons in an atom?

90. Where do we find the relative
atomic mass and atomic number of

105. Do you remember that electrons
are found in orbits (or shells)
around the nucleus?

106. Do you remember that electrons
are found in orbits (or shells)
around the nucleus?
The orbits can only hold a certain number of
electrons:

107. Do you remember that electrons
are found in orbits (or shells)
around the nucleus?
The orbits can only hold a certain number of
electrons:
The first orbit can hold up to 2 electrons
The second orbit can hold up to 8 electrons
The third orbit can hold up to 8 electrons
Let’s look at some examples:

108. Lithium has an atomic number of
3 so has 3 electrons.
The first 2 electrons go into the
first orbit (shell) and the
remaining electron goes into the
second orbit.

109. Lithium has an atomic number of
3 so has 3 electrons.
The first 2 electrons go into the
first orbit (shell) and the
remaining electron goes into the
second orbit.
The electron configuration
(arrangement) can also be written
in this format.

110. Silicon has an atomic number of
14 so has 14 electrons.
The first 2 electrons go into the
first orbit (shell), the next 8 go
into the second orbit, and the
remaining 4 electrons go into the
third orbit.
To make sure you
understand this, try drawing
the electron configurations
for the first 20 elements
(hydrogen to calcium)

111. The Periodic Table can
also help us when we are
trying to work out the
electron configuration of
a particular element.

112. The Group Number tells you how many
electrons there are in the outer shell
(orbit) of an element.
For example, oxygen is in Group 6, so has
6 electrons in its outermost shell (2:6)

113. The Period Number
tells you how many
shells (orbits) there
are around the
nucleus.
For example, Calcium
is in Period 4, so will
have 4 shells around
the nucleus

114. The Period Number
tells you how many
shells (orbits) there
are around the
nucleus.
For example, Calcium
is in Period 4, so will
have 4 shells around
the nucleus
