Solid, liquid, gas

Melting

Solid changes to liquid (heating)

Boiling

Liquid changes to gas (heating)

Freezing

Liquid changes to solid (cooling)

Condensing

Gas changes to liquid (cooling)

Effect of heating on particles

Gives particles more energy

What happens to particles during melting?

Gain energy to break free from some forces

What happens to particles during boiling?

Gain energy to completely overcome all forces

Stronger forces between particles means...

Higher melting and boiling points

Type of bonds in metals

Strong metallic bonds

Type of forces in noble gases

Weak forces

Type of forces in simple molecules

Weak intermolecular forces

Type of bonds in giant covalent structures

Strong covalent bonds

Type of bonds in ionic compounds

Strong ionic bonds
