Phase Changes Animation Megan Rahrig Block 2 October 2008 From Solid… To Liquid… To Gas!

Solid Melting Into a liquid… Solids hold their own shape. They have weight and they take up space. Molecules in solids are packed tightly together and they have very little energy. Solids have definite shape, volume and density. Solid + Energy = Liquid

Solid Melting Into a liquid… Solid + Energy = Liquid Examples of a solid to liquid: Ice into water…

Solid Melting Into a liquid… Solid + Energy = Liquid Examples of a solid to liquid: Ice cream into melted ice cream…

Solid Melting Into a liquid… Solid + Energy = Liquid Examples of a solid to liquid: Rock into lava…

Liquid Molecules in liquids are loosely packed, and have an energy level that is between the energy level of solids and gasses. Liquids take the shape of their container, have weight, and take up space. Liquids have definite volume and density but no definite shape Vaporizing Into a gas… Liquid + Energy = Gas

Liquid Vaporizing Into a gas… Liquid + Energy = Gas Examples of a liquid to gas: Water to steam…

Liquid Vaporizing Into a gas… Liquid + Energy = Gas Examples of a liquid to gas: Gasoline into Exhaust…

Gas Gasses spread out to the entire space given, and they have weight and take up space. Molecules in gasses move freely and have lots of energy. Gasses dont have a definite shape, volume or density. Condensing Into a liquid… Gas + Energy = Plasma Gas - Energy = Liquid

Gas Gas + Energy = Plasma Gas - Energy = Liquid Condensing Into a liquid… Examples of a gas to liquid: Evaporation into rain…

Gas Gas + Energy = Plasma Gas - Energy = Liquid Condensing Into a liquid… Examples of a gas to liquid: Steam into water…

Liquid Liquid – Energy = Solid A liquid once more! Freezing Into a solid…

Liquid Liquid – Energy = Solid Freezing Into a solid… Examples of a liquid to solid: Water into Ice…

Liquid Liquid – Energy = Solid Freezing Into a solid… Examples of a liquid to solid: Molten sand into glass…

Liquid Liquid – Energy = Solid Freezing Into a solid… Examples of a liquid to solid: Jell-o mix into Jell-o…

Solid Solid + Lots of energy = gas A solid once again! Subliming Into a gas…

Solid Subliming Into a gas… Solid + Lots of energy = gas Examples of things that can sublimate: Dry Ice…

Solid Subliming Into a gas… Solid + Lots of energy = gas Examples of things that can sublimate: Ice…

Solid Subliming Into a gas… Solid + Lots of energy = gas Examples of things that can sublimate: Naphthalene…

Gas A gas once again! Solid + Lots of energy = gas Ionizing Into a plasma…

Gas Gas + Energy = Plasma Ionizing Into a plasma…

Gas Gas + Energy = Plasma Ionizing Into a plasma…

Gas Gas + Energy = Plasma Ionizing Into a plasma… The molecules have lost their electrons!

Plasma Plasma – energy = gas Plasma molecules are electrically charged, and have extremely high energy levels.Plasma molecules are electrically charged, and have extremely high energy levels. Lightning is plasma. Plasma is used in fluorescent light bulbs and neon lights.Lightning is plasma. Plasma is used in fluorescent light bulbs and neon lights. Plasma is a lot like gas, but the molecules are electrically charged.Plasma is a lot like gas, but the molecules are electrically charged. The electrons in plasmas are free, not bound to the molecule.The electrons in plasmas are free, not bound to the molecule. A plasma to a gas is called Deionization.A plasma to a gas is called Deionization. A plasma is ionized gas.A plasma is ionized gas.
