Important Definitions (Points)
Characteristics of Solid
A solid
are a state in which matter is characterized by having definite shape, distinct
boundaries, rigidity, incompressibility and fixed volume.
Characteristics of Liquid
A
liquid is a state in which matter is characterized by having fluidity, low
compressibility, no definite boundary or shape but fixed volume.
Characteristics of Gases
The gaseous state
is characterized by having fluidity, high compressibility, no definite boundary,
volume or shape.
Melting Point
It is the
temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid at atmospheric pressure.
Boiling Point
It is
the temperature at which a liquid changes into its vapour at atmospheric
pressure.
Latent Heat of Fusion
LHF is
the amount of heat consumed when 1 kg of a solid changes into liquid at a
constant temperature.
Latent Heat of Vaporization
LHV is the amount of heat consumed when 1 kg of a
liquid changes into its vapour at a constant temperature.
Evaporation
It is a
surface phenomenon in which a liquid changes into vapour or gas below its
boiling point. It results in lowering in temperature (Cooling).
Matter In Our Surroundings - NCERT (CBSE) Hot Questions
Question.1:
Give reasons for the following observation:
The smell
of hot sizzling food reaches you several meters away, but to get the smell from
cold food you have to go close.
Question.2:
A diver is able to cut through water in swimming pool. Which property of matter
does this observation show?
Question.3:
What are characteristics of particles of matter?
Question.4:
Why are gases compressible not liquids?
Question.5:
Give reasons
(a) A gas
fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas
exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
(c) A
wooden table should be called solid.
(d) We can
easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we
need a karate expert.
