– Particles of Matter Attract Each Other: The chapter discusses how particles of matter have forces of attraction between them, which vary from one kind of matter to another. This force keeps the particles together, and their kinetic energy increases with temperature【4:0†source】.
– States of Matter: Matter exists in three states – solid, liquid, and gas, each with varying characteristics of particles. Solids have a definite shape, liquids take the shape of the container, and gases have maximum kinetic energy and compressibility【4:1†source】.
– Evaporation: The chapter explains evaporation as a process where particles at the surface of a liquid gain energy, break away from the forces of attraction, and change into vapor. Factors affecting evaporation are also discussed, such as surface area, temperature, and humidity【4:3†source】.
– Melting and Boiling Points: The chapter covers the concepts of melting and boiling points, latent heat, and changes in states of matter. It explains how heat energy is absorbed during melting and boiling, leading to changes in the states of matter【4:4†source】.
Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day?
A desert cooler cools better on a hot dry day because the rate of evaporation is higher in dry conditions, leading to more cooling effect as the particles of liquid absorb energy from the surroundings to evaporate, making the surroundings cooler.
How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
The water kept in an earthen pot (matka) becomes cool during summer due to the process of evaporation. As water evaporates from the surface of the pot, it absorbs heat and causes cooling of the remaining water inside the pot.
Why does our palm feel cold when we put some acetone or petrol or perfume on it?
Our palm feels cold when we put acetone, petrol, or perfume on it because the particles of these substances gain energy from our palm or surroundings, evaporate, and this process of evaporation causes cooling.
Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?
We are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup because the saucer has a larger surface area, allowing for increased rate of evaporation, which helps to cool down the tea or milk faster than in a cup.
What type of clothes should we wear in summer?
In summer, we should wear cotton clothes because cotton is a good absorber of water (such as sweat) which then easily evaporates from the fabric, causing cooling due to the process of evaporation.
