2.2.3 Melting, boiling and evaporation
| Core | Supplement |
|---|---|
1 Describe melting and boiling in terms of energy input without a change in temperature 2 Know the melting and boiling temperatures for water at standard atmospheric pressure 3 Describe condensation and solidification in terms of particles 4 Describe evaporation in terms of the escape of more-energetic particles from the surface of a liquid 5 Know that evaporation causes cooling of a liquid | 6 Describe the differences between boiling and evaporation 7 Describe how temperature, surface area and air movement over a surface affect evaporation 8 Explain the cooling of an object in contact with an evaporating liquid |
