- 0:00in this video we will be looking at GCSE
- 0:02physics topic three and that is particle
- 0:04model of matter here are the subtopics
- 0:07we're going to be looking at throughout
- 0:09this video as always these pages will be
- 0:12available on my Etsy which is linked in
- 0:14the description thank you very much for
- 0:16watching and I hope you enjoy first of
- 0:19all we have particle model this involves
- 0:22solids liquids and gases and we're just
- 0:25going to talk about the properties of
- 0:26each of these three so solids have a
- 0:29strong for force of attraction between
- 0:31the particles as you can see they're in
- 0:32a very fixed regular structure and when
- 0:35they transfer energy they vibrate so if
- 0:38you heat one end of a solid the
- 0:41particles will vibrate and it will pass
- 0:42it on kind of like a Mexican wave type
- 0:44thing and you'd also say they have a
- 0:46high particle density so there's a lot
- 0:49of particles within a certain
- 0:51space moving on to a liquid they have
- 0:54weaker forces of attraction particles
- 0:56move past each other in an irregular
- 0:59structure so you can see if you compare
- 1:00the solid to the liquid there is much
- 1:02more of an irregular structure going
- 1:05on and typically the particles will have
- 1:07more energy than the solids and they are
- 1:10also less dense than the solids because
- 1:12as you can see there is a lot more air
- 1:14gaps between the particles compared to
- 1:16the
- 1:17solids and finally we have the gas there
- 1:19is almost no force of attraction between
- 1:21them they move randomly in any direction
- 1:26they always will fill the
- 1:28container the particles typically will
- 1:30have more energy than other states
- 1:32because they are always flying around
- 1:34and you would say they have a very low
- 1:37density next we have density so density
- 1:41has an equation behind it and it is mass
- 1:43over
- 1:44volume again if you haven't used the
- 1:46triangle before please learn how to use
- 1:49it if you don't know how to use it let
- 1:50me know down below and I'll explain it
- 1:52to you if you ever forget what the
- 1:54equation for density is try and remember
- 1:57some of the units for it and it makes it
- 1:59much easier so as you can see the
- 2:01density units are kog per M cubed and if
- 2:05you look at the units for both mass and
- 2:08volume you have kilogram and meters
- 2:10cubed and because you're dividing them
- 2:13that is why the density units are
- 2:15kilograms per M cubed if you were
- 2:18multiplying them it would just be
- 2:20kilogram M cubed all as one thing but
- 2:23that division in there that slash helps
- 2:25you realize that you divide the two
- 2:27things rather than times them
- 2:30finding the density of a regular
- 2:33objects so the problem first of all here
- 2:36is if we had just like a cube a cuboid a
- 2:39cylinder that kind of thing it makes it
- 2:41very easy because obviously we can use a
- 2:43balance or scales to find the mass of it
- 2:47and then the volume just comes with any
- 2:49equations that we've learned in the past
- 2:50with maths or physics so for example a
- 2:53cube You' just do the width times the
- 2:55height times the depth however with an
- 2:58irregular object you would want to do
- 3:00the method that I'm about to tell you so
- 3:03you fill a Eureka can with water and you
- 3:07place the object into the water a
- 3:08eurekka can is just a form of container
- 3:12where you fill the water up to the
- 3:13maximum height and then if you put
- 3:16something in that displaces the water
- 3:18and pushes it up any water that is
- 3:21displaced will come out of a kind of
- 3:23Hose type thing and can be caught in
- 3:25another
- 3:27container and then the amount of water
- 3:29that is dis placed or removed from the
- 3:30can is going to be the volume that you
- 3:33have put in as long as it's fully
- 3:34submerged so always make sure that is
- 3:36the case as well and then because of
- 3:39that you then have the volume and the
- 3:40mass and you can work out the density of
- 3:41it using the equation in front of
- 3:44you next we have internal
- 3:47energy so internal energy is the total
- 3:50energy that A System's particles have in
- 3:52their kinetic and potential energy
- 3:55stores heating a system will increase
- 3:57the energy in the particle's kinetic
- 3:59energy doors making them move faster and
- 4:02ultimately increase the internal energy
- 4:05if the internal energy increases enough
- 4:07this will result in a change in state so
- 4:10just to clarify a system is just an area
- 4:14where different reactions are taking
- 4:16place so a system could be for example
- 4:19in the diagram that I've drawn just
- 4:20inside that container of water so in the
- 4:24bottom half of this slide on the left
- 4:26hand side I've got just a regular
- 4:28container of water that might have just
- 4:30been poured out of the tap and then on
- 4:32the right hand side if we heat that up
- 4:35all of a sudden the internal energy is
- 4:37going to go from 10 to 100 and the
- 4:40reason for this is because as we talked
- 4:42about right at the start those particles
- 4:44inside the water are getting heated up
- 4:46so they get a lot of energy so they're
- 4:48moving around and bouncing off the
- 4:49containers getting a load of kinetic
- 4:51energy some of those things will be
- 4:53heating up to a point where they can
- 4:55evaporate and turn into a gas so that is
- 4:57your change in state but overall that is
- 4:59why the internal energy is increasing in
- 5:02this
- 5:04system next we have specific latent heat
- 5:08so this is simply The energy needed to
- 5:10change the state of a
- 5:13substance if you go by the proper
- 5:16definition that you might want to say in
- 5:17a test it will be something along the
- 5:19lines of the energy needed to change the
- 5:21state of one kilogram of a substance to
- 5:23be very
- 5:24specific so the diagram on the left hand
- 5:27side is temperature up the y axis and
- 5:30time across the x-axis when a substance
- 5:33gets heated energy goes into increasing
- 5:36the particles energies so that would be
- 5:38again the kinetic energy the internal
- 5:39energy that kind of stuff this results
- 5:42in a temperature
- 5:44increase during a change of state this
- 5:47energy goes into breaking bonds so the
- 5:49temperature increas is stopped while
- 5:51this happens because breaking bonds is a
- 5:54very energy intensive
- 5:56process again we have an equation here
- 5:58energy is Mass times specific latent
- 6:01heat and again you can use those units
- 6:03if you ever forget that because specific
- 6:06latent heat Jewels per kilogram if we
- 6:09were to rearrange this equation to get
- 6:11the specific latent heat to be the
- 6:13subject we'd be dividing by the mass
- 6:15leaving us with Jews divided by the
- 6:18kilogram energy divided by mass and
- 6:20again you can use the triangle to do
- 6:22this if you
- 6:24prefer and our final slide is particle
- 6:27motion in gases specifically the
- 6:29pressure in gases gas pressure is
- 6:32technically the force exerted per unit
- 6:35area the gases will move randomly inside
- 6:37a container and collide with both walls
- 6:39of the container and other
- 6:41particles in a sealed container the
- 6:45pressure is the total force exerted on
- 6:47the walls of the
- 6:49container so if you've got 100 particles
- 6:52in a big room the pressure is not going
- 6:56to be that high because there's a
- 6:58massive space for those 100 particles to
- 7:00fill whereas if you shrink that room
- 7:03down into a little 1 cm cubed box the
- 7:07pressure is going to be massive because
- 7:08all of those 100 particles have to fit
- 7:10in there and they're going to be
- 7:12bouncing off the walls left right and
- 7:13center and it's going to cause the
- 7:14pressure to go up massively because the
- 7:16force on the walls is massive as
- 7:20well and that sums up the end of
- 7:22particle model of matter thank you very
- 7:25much for watching please like And
- 7:26subscribe if you found it useful and I
- 7:28will see you in the next one
