  • the properties of three states of matter that explain the theory of microscopic structure of matter.

Task 1

Prepare answers for the following questions.

a) What experiments confirm the theory of the atomic structure of matter?
b) What is the difference between intermolecular interactions in gases, liquids and solids.
c) What is the difference between the fourth state of matter - plasma - and gasgasgas?
d) Why are bodies with good electrical conductance conduct heat well?
e) How does the hydrostatic pressure depend on the liquidliquidliquid densitydensitydensity?
f) Present Pascal's law.
g) Present the floating conditions of the bodies.

The basic elements that mattermattermatter is made of are atoms. Atom is the smallest amount of a simple substance that retains its chemical and physical properties.

Atoms have a mass, volumevolumevolume and shape. Atoms can combine with each other to form molecules that are the smallest amount of a complex substance that retains its chemical and physical properties.

Atoms are very small, but nevertheless they have a complex structure. They consist of a heavy positive nucleus in the middle of the atom and negative electrons in the outer part.

Atoms contain charges (protons, electrons). However, they are electrically neutral.

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion.

Exercise 1

Determine if the sentences below are true or false.

a) Diffusion is the spontaneous mixing of substances, e.g. the spread of odour in still air.
b) VolumevolumeVolume contraction phenomenon - consisting in the fact that the volume of the mixture of water and ethyl alcohol is smaller than the sum of the volume of its components, i.e. water and alcohol separately, indicates the molecular structure of the liquidliquidliquid.
c) Atoms can be seen in a normal optical microscope.
d) Brownian motion consisting in the constant movement of fat particles in the water indicates the molecular structure of water.

Summary
R1dS8yY49JstQ
nagranie abstraktu
  • The theory of atomic structure of mattermattermatter is confirmed by the phenomenon of diffusion and the phenomenon of Brownian motion. Matter is made up of atoms that can combine into molecules. Atoms and molecules are in constant motion. In solids, molecules vibrate around their equilibrium positions, in liquids, molecules can move relative to each other, in gases, molecules move freely relative to each other. Gases fill freely the entire volume of the vessel and are compressible. Liquids take the shape of the vessel and create a free surface at the boundary with solids and gases. The change in temperature can cause phase transitions of solids, liquids and gases. Above 1000 K gases transforms into the fourth state of matter - plasma.

  • DensitydensityDensity is the quantity that characterizes the body, calculated as the ratio of the mass to the volume:

    d=mV
  • According to Archimedes' principle, on the body immersed in liquidliquidliquid or gasgasgas acts the buoyant forcebuoyant forcebuoyant force equal to the weight of displaced liquid or displaced gas.

  • If the density of the body is greater than the density of liquid or gas, the body sinks. If the density of the body is smaller than the density of liquid or gas, the body floats on the surface of the liquid, or rises in the gas.

  • Within gas or liquid there is a hydrostatic pressure p, depending on the depth of the body immersion h, and the density of liquid or gas d:

    p=d·g·h
  • The normal force acting on liquid or gas in a closed tank, according to Pascal's law, creates additional pressure, which is the same in the entire volumevolumevolume of the gas or liquid under consideration.
