8Fd – Physical Trends

8Fd – Physical Trends

Lesson Objectives:
Grade A
Explain melting, freezing and boiling points and
use them to predict the states of a substance.
Grade B
Describe and identify trends in physical
properties within the periodic table.

Keywords: Physical, properties, state of matter.

Explain melting, freezing and boiling points and use
them to predict the states of a substance(A)

Particles in a solid are held together tightly

because the attracting bonds between the
particles are strong.
If enough heat energy is supplied, the
particles have enough energy to overcome
these bonds and leave their fixed position,
forming a liquid.
Explain melting, freezing and boiling points and use
them to predict the states of a substance(A)

During this process, the heat energy being

added will be used up by overcoming these
bonds so the temperature of the solid will
not increase but the solid will continue to
melt!
Explain melting, freezing and boiling points and use
them to predict the states of a substance(A)

When the last bit of solid has melted the

heat energy being added will then result in
an increase in the temperature of the
liquid.
Explain melting, freezing and boiling points and use
them to predict the states of a substance(A)

Eventually the liquid particles move fast

enough to break the bonds to their
neighbouring particles and escape from the
liquid as a gas.
