2. MELTING
When ice is heated, it melts.
Ice melts at 0oC.
The heat applied is used to break the forces of
attraction between molecules.
As the ice melts, temperature remains constant.
The heat applied to melt a substance is called Latent
Heat.
Latent heat means ‘hidden’ heat.
Since there is no change in temperature, the heat
applied is hidden.
3. Melting - change from solid to liquid
Melting point - SPECIFIC temperature when
melting occurs.
Each pure substance has a SPECIFIC melting
point.
Examples:
M.P. of Water = 0°C
M.P. of Nitrogen = -209.9 °C
M.P. of Silver = 961.93 °C
M.P. of Carbon = 3500.0 °C
4. Melting Point
Particles of a solid vibrate so fast that they break free
from their fixed positions.
Solid Liquid
Increasing Thermal Energy
Melting point
5. Vaporization
Vaporization – change from liquid to gas
Vaporization happens when particles in a liquid gain
enough energy to form a gas.

Increasing Thermal Energy
Boiling point
6. Two Kinds of Vaporization
Evaporation – vaporization that takes place only on
the surface of the liquid
Boiling – when a liquid changes to a gas BELOW its
surface as well as above.
7. Boiling Point
Boiling Point – temperature at which a liquid boils
Each pure substance has a SPECIFIC boiling point.
Examples:
B.P. of Water = 100°C
B.P. of Nitrogen = -195.79 °C
B.P. of Silver = 2162 °C
B.P. of Carbon = 4027 °C
8. EVAPORATION BOILING
-takes place at all temperatures - takes place at a constant temperature
(boiling point)
-takes place at a slow rate - takes place at a faster rate
-particles move slowly - particles move rapidly
-no bubbles seen - bubbles are formed deep in the liquid
- - bubbles expand, rise, burst and release
large amounts of vapour
-takes place on the surface of the liquid - takes place throughout the liquid
-depends on temperature, surface area and - depends on the rate of heat supply
state of air above the surface
- Brings about cooling - no cooling

Melting and boiling occur at constant temperatures.
The heat supplied is hidden ‘latent’.
Bonds between molecules are weakened in melting and broken boiling.
More energy is required for boiling than melting.
