That volume stays the same if you pour the juice into a large

Liquids Have Unique Characteristics
A special property of liquids is surface tension. Surface tension
is a force that acts on the particles at the surface of a liquid.
Surface tension causes some liquids to form spherical drops,
like the beads of water shown in Figure 4. Different liquids
have different surface tensions. For example, gasoline has a
very low surface tension and forms flat drops.
Another important property of liquids is viscosity. Viscosity is
a liquid’s resistance to flow. Usually, the stronger the attrac-
tions between the molecules of a liquid, the more viscous the

drops as a result of surface tension. So, honey has a higher viscosity than water.

6. Would you believe that one small tank of helium
can fill almost 700 balloons? How is this possible?
After all, the volume of a tank is equal to the
volume of only about five filled balloons. The
answer has to do with helium’s state of matter.
Gases Change in Both Shape and Volume
Helium is a gas. Gas is the state of matter that has
no definite shape or volume. The particles of a gas
move quickly. So, they can break away completely
from one another. There is less attraction between
particles of a gas than between particles of the same

The amount of force exerted on a given area of surface is called
pressure. You can think of pressure as the number of times the
particles of a gas hit the inside of their container.

can hold the same volume of air, which is a gas. Notice,

When more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball, the
force on the inside surface of the ball increases. This increased
force leads to greater pressure, which makes the basketball feel

9. Gas Behavior Laws
Scientists found that the temperature, pressure, and volume of
a gas are linked. Changing one of the factors changes the other
two factors. The relationships between temperature, pressure,
and volume are described by gas laws.
Boyle’s Law
Imagine that a diver 10 m below the surface of a lake blows a
bubble of air. When the bubble reaches the surface, the bubble’s
volume has doubled. The difference in pressure between the
surface and 10 m below the surface caused this change.
The relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas
was first described by Robert Boyle, a 17th-century Irish chem-

gas when pressure is constant
If you blow air into a balloon and leave it in the hot sun, the
balloon might pop. Charles’s law states that for a fixed amount
of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas changes
in the same way that the temperature of the gas changes. So,
if the temperature increases, the volume of gas also increases
by the same amount. Charles’s law is shown by the model in
Figure 4.

12. Melting: Solid to Liquid
One change of state that happens when you add energy
to a substance is melting. Melting is the change of state
from a solid to a liquid. This change of state is what
happens when ice melts. Adding energy to a solid
increases the temperature of the solid. As the temperature
increases, the particles of the solid move faster. When a
certain temperature is reached, the solid will melt. The
temperature at which a substance changes from a solid
to a liquid is the melting point of the substance. Melting
point is a physical property. Different substances have
different melting points. For example, gallium melts at
about 30°C. Because your normal body temperature is

is gained by the substance as it changes state.
Freezing: Liquid to Solid
The change of state from a liquid to a solid is called
freezing. The temperature at which a liquid changes into
a solid is the liquid’s freezing point. Freezing is the reverse
process of melting. Thus, freezing and melting occur at
the same temperature, as shown in Figure 3.

13. Evaporation: Liquid to Gas
One way to experience evaporation is to iron a shirt using a
steam iron. You will notice steam coming up from the iron
as the wrinkles disappear. This steam forms when the liquid
water in the iron becomes hot and changes to gas.

water evaporates. You feel cooler because your body transfers
energy to the water. Evaporation also explains why water in
a glass on a table disappears after several days.
Figure 4 explains the difference between boiling and
evaporation. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or
gas, throughout the liquid. Boiling occurs when the pressure
inside the bubbles, which is called vapor pressure, equals the
outside pressure on the bubbles, or atmospheric pressure. The
temperature at which a liquid boils is called its boiling point.
No matter how much of a substance is present, neither the
boiling point nor the melting point of a substance change. For
example, 5 mL and 5 L of water both boil at 100°C.

change of state from a gas to a liquid. Condensation and evapo-

a substance is the temperature at which the gas becomes a

15. Sublimation: Solid to Gas
The solid in Figure 6 is dry ice. Dry ice is carbon
dioxide in a solid state. It is called dry ice because
instead of melting into a liquid, it goes through
sublimation. Sublimation is the change of state in
which a solid changes directly into a gas. Dry ice
is much colder than ice made from water.
For a solid to change directly into a gas, the
particles of the substance must move from being
very tightly packed to being spread far apart.
So, the attractions between the particles must
be completely overcome. The substance must
gain energy for the particles to overcome their
attractions. Thus, sublimation is an endothermic
change because energy is gained by the substance
as it changes state.
Figure 6 Dry ice changes directly
from a solid to a gas. This change
Change of Temperature Vs. Change of State
of state is called sublimation. When most substances lose or gain energy, one of two
things happens to the substance: its temperature changes
or its state changes. The temperature of a substance is
related to the speed of the substance’s particles. So, when
the temperature of a substance changes, the speed of the
particles also changes. But the temperature of a substance
sublimation the process in which
a solid changes directly into a gas does not change until the change of state is complete.
For example, the temperature of boiling water stays at
100°C until it has all evaporated. In Figure 7, you can see
what happens to ice as energy is added to the ice.
