A BEC is a state of matter that can arise at very low
temperatures

The BEC is all about molecules that are really close to each
other (even closer than atoms in a solid)

Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Solids
Solids have a definite shape and a
definite volume because the
particles are locked into place

Solids do not flow easily because
the particles cannot move/slide
past one another

Solids are not easily compressible
because there is little free space
between particles

Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Liquids
Liquids are not easily compressible
and have a definite volume because
there is little free space between
particles
...


Liquids flow easily because the
particles can move/slide past
one another
...


Gases have an indefinite shape
and an indefinite volume because
the particles can move past one
another
...


Plasmas are easily compressible
because there is a great deal of
free space between particles
...


Particles are literally
indistinguishable because they
are locked into same space

Sublimation : The changing of solid directly into vapours on heating & vapours into solid on
cooling
...
Ammonium chloride , camphor & iodine
...



On increasing the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases
which overcomes the forces of attraction between the particles thereby solid melts
and is converted to a liquid
...




The melting point of ice is 273
...




The process of melting, that is, change of solid state into liquid state is also known as
fusion
...
Applying
pressure and reducing temperature can liquefy gases
...
Solid CO2 gets converted
directly to gaseous state on decrease of pressure to 1 atmosphere without coming
into liquid state
...


Latent Heat :
The hidden heat which breaks the force of attraction between the molecules during
change of state
...

Fusion
Heat energy required to change
1kg of solid into liquid
...


Thus, we can say that pressure and temperature determine the state of a substance ,
whether it will be solid, liquid or gas

4 Name any two substances which sublime
...
5 Define Condensation
...
6 For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the
change of state?

4
...




At a given temperature in any gas, liquid or solid, there are particles with different
amounts of kinetic energy
...




This phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its
boiling point is called evaporation
...




With the increase of temperature, more number of particles get enough kinetic energy
to go into the vapour state
...
The air around us cannot hold
more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature
...




Wind speed : the higher the wind speed , the more evaporation
...

Evaporation cause cooling
...
Particles from the bulk (whole) of the liquid change
into vapour state
...
Particles from the surface gain enough
energy to overcome the forces of attraction present in the liquid and change into the
vapour state
...
1 Which is the slow process , Evaporation or Boiling ?
Q
...

Q
...
Kelvin & Celsius Scale


Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature, 00 C =273
...
we take 00 C = 273 K
...
T (K)= T (oC) +273



Kelvin scale of temperature has always positive sign , hence regarded as better scale
than Celsius
...
The SI unit of
pressure is Pascal (Pa):



1 atmosphere = 1
...
The pressure of air in atmosphere is called
atmospheric pressure
...

Q
...
2 Kelvin scale of temperature is regarded as better scale than Celsius
...
3 Convert 10oC into Kelvin scale
