​C2: Quiz 10 – Answers

1) Physical change as no chemical reaction has taken place; the particles are still water (H2O) when ice (solid) becomes water (liquid)

​ 
2)
1 – melting
2 – evaporating or boiling
3 – condensing
4 – freezing or solidifying
5 – sublimating
Picture
​3) The particles in a solid gain more energy which causes them to vibrate more around their fixed positions. The increase in vibration/ energy of the particles weakens the forces that hold the solid together. Eventually at a certain temperature (the melting point), the particles have enough energy to break free from their fixed positions in the solid and become a liquid
 
4) As a gas cools, the particles lose some of their energy. This means that they do not have enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles, which results in bonds starting to form between the particles. At the boiling point, so many bonds have formed between the particles, which results in the gas becoming a liquid.
