Unit 3: Gas Laws and States of Matter

Guiding Questions:

  • Why do substances boil or freeze at different temperatures?
  • Why does sweating cool us?

What you should learn:

  1. The motion of molecules and atoms explains energy transfer and changes in volume and pressure.
  2. Physical properties can be explained and predicted by intermolecular interactions
  3. The amount of energy required to induce a physical change can be quantified.
  4. Intermolecular forces determine the relative amount of energy required for physical changes
  5. When energy is absorbed by a system, another system has lost an equivalent amount of energy (Law of conservation of energy).
