Changes of state and internal energy

Video coming soon

The key ideas and the summary sheet for this lesson are ready now.

Key ideas

  1. Six changes of state: melt, freeze, boil or evaporate, condense, sublimate.

  2. Mass is conserved: particles are rearranged, not lost.

  3. Internal energy = total kinetic + potential energy of the particles.

  4. Heating raises the temperature, or changes the state.
