INTRODUCTION:
Matter has three states. The state of matter can be in the form of solid, liquid
or a gas. When matter changes its states, it is said to be undergoing a Phase
Change. This lesson on the Phase Change of Matter explains the changes taking
place when matter changes its state.
Lesson 1 in the Phase Change talks about that matter is made of tiny
particles. These particles are arranged depending on its state. These tiny particles
are moving all the time and its movement differs in every state. Can the state of
matter change into another state? What happens when ice cream melts? What
phase change is observed when solid bathroom deodorizer changes from solid to
gas?
Phase Change
Matter occurs in three states such as solid, liquid and gas. When ice melts,
it changes its state from solid to liquid. This change of state is known as melting.
On the other hand, animal oil solidifies when cooled. This change of state from
liquid to solid is called solidification. Both melting and solidification are referred as
Phase change. We can see that there is a phase change when the current state of
matter changes into another state, and still retaining its original composition.
When phase change occurs, only the state of the substance is change but its
chemical composition is retained. What are some examples of phase changes?
Activity 1. What changes take place?
Objective: Identify the phase change in matter.
Procedure:
A. Answer the questions that follow. Write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper.
Lighted candle (Figure 1).
1. What is your observation about the candle before it
is lighted? How about during the time the candle
was lit?
How about after putting out the flame of the
candle?
2. What state of matter is the lighted candle when it
melts?
3. What process takes place when solid state changes
to a
liquid state?
4. How about when a liquid state changes back to solid?
