OVERVIEW
The text emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with
the environment and understanding it to ensure survival. It
highlights the increasing demands on the environment due to
population growth, leading to changes in the environment.
Figure 1: Chart on the Change of State The particle model shows that solid,
liquid and gas are made up of small particles. These particles are always
moving. The behavior of these particles differs in the 3 states and hence
can be used to explain what happens in changes in state.
Solid
01 The particles in a solid are very close to each other. There is a very strong
force that holds these particles together. Hence, their movements are
limited. The particles are vibrating but not spreading apart. This explains
why solid has a rigid
and compact appearance.
Liquid
02 The particles in a liquid are arranged far apart from each
other. The force holding them is not as strong as that in
solid. Thus, the particles can glide or slide around one
other and tend to occupy the bottom of the container.
This explains why liquid takes on the shape of the
container.
Gas
03 Gas particles lie very far from each other. The force
holding them is very weak. This is the reason why the
particles of gas move faster.

in Matter
A From Solis to Liquid
Heat energy is always present when matter changes state. As
temperature increases as observe when heat from the hot water is added
to solid like candy and wax, the particles in these solid materials take in
the heat energy. They change it into energy of motion and begin to move
and vibrate so fast. As the particles in the solid speed up, consequently
they also move farther apart. If the particles gained enough energy, they
will have enough room to slide past each other. They break free from their
fixed positions. Consequently, the solid matters (ice candy and wax) begin
to melt. Melting is the change of state from solid to a liquid.
B. From liquid to Gas
Increasing the temperature further of a liquid state like water which resulted from
melting, will cause the water particles to move faster and more rapidly farther
apart. This allows the particles to escape. The liquid water begins to change to a
gas - called water vapor. This can continue as long as heat is added or the
temperature increases, and the liquid will continue to boil. The bubbles of water
vapor will keep forming and escaping until all the liquid changes to gas. Boiling is
rapid change of state from a liquid to a gas. It occurs at or above the boiling
temperature. Vaporization takes place when the particles in a liquid gain enough
energy to move independently, forming a gas. Evaporation usually occurs on the
C. From liquid to Solid
Suppose more energy or heat is taken away from liquid like when
the liquid ice candy or just plain water is placed in the freezer
where the temperature is maybe 0°C or even lower, the particles in
the liquid will slow down. They will begin to move closer to each
other. If the particles lose enough energy the ice candy or the
water begins to freeze. The change of state from a liquid to a solid
is freezing.
