Directions: Complete the chart by writing the correct sentence from the list under the correct term. Attractive forces between particles are strong. Attractive forces between particles are weaker than in a liquid. Strong attractive forces and slow motion of particles keep particles in position. Attractive forces are slightly weaker than solids. Surface tension is a result of uneven forces acting on particles at the surface. Particles have little or no attraction to each other. 1. 2. Solids 3. 4. 5. 6. Liquids Gases 18 States of Matter

Enrichment LESSON 1 Forces Between Particles Why does rain fall as drops rather than sheets of water? Why does it bead up on a freshly waxed car instead of spreading out over the surface? The area around the hydrogen atoms of a water molecule has a slightly positive charge. The area around the oxygen atom has a slightly negative charge. The negative area of each water molecule attracts the positive area of other, nearby molecules. The molecules pull together into the smallest possible surface, which is a sphere. The force of attraction between similar particles, such as water molecules, is called cohesion. Opposites Attract Water molecules are attracted to any particle with positive or negative charges. The force of attraction between unlike particles is called adhesion. For example, when you dip one end of a paper towel into a glass of water, the water moves upward into the paper. You know that gravity pulls down on the water molecules, so why do they move upward? The particles that form the towel also have positive and negative charges. The Applying Critical-Thinking Skills Directions: Answer each question. attraction between the water molecules and the paper particles is stronger than the attraction between the water molecules themselves. The attraction is strong enough to pull the water upward through the paper. Sticky Stuff If you attach a poster to your wall, it s a good idea to use masking tape rather than transparent tape. Why? Substances called adhesives work because of adhesion. The sticky stuff on adhesive tape adheres to the tape. When you press the sticky side of the tape to a surface made of other types of particles, such as paint particles, adhesion causes the paint on the wall and the adhesive to stick together. Some adhesives, such as those on transparent tape, are strong. If you try to remove the tape, some of the paint particles come off with it, leaving a bare spot! The adhesive in masking tape is weaker. It is designed to stay on the wall for a short time and come off easily without removing paint. 1. Infer You press the sticky side of two pieces of transparent tape together. Why is it more difficult to pull them apart than to pull the tape off a piece of paper? 2. Analyze When you put water into a narrow tube, such as a graduated cylinder, the surface of the water forms a concave shape called a meniscus. Why does this occur? 3. Apply How do cohesion and adhesion work together in wall paint? Why does wet paint bead up on some shiny, smooth surfaces and spread evenly over other surfaces? 20 States of Matter
Challenge LESSON 1 Investigate the Properties of Water You know that surface tension is related to the cohesive properties of water. Water particles may also be attracted to particles in other substances. The force of attraction between unlike particles is called adhesion. When water comes in contact with another substance, there is a tug of war between the forces of cohesion and adhesion. You can figure out which force won by observing what happens to the water. Cohesion and Adhesion 1. Place a clean, new penny on a paper towel. Add distilled water, one drop at a time, to the penny. How many drops can you add before the water runs off the penny? 2. Clean and dry the penny. Add a few drops of dish soap to distilled water in the cup. How many drops of water can you add to the penny now before it overflows? 3. What caused the water to mound on the penny rather than flowing off? Why did this change when soap was added to the water? Capillary Action A capillary is a tube with a small inner diameter. A process called capillary action is related to the adhesive properties of water. For example, when you place one end of a piece of glass tubing in water, the water climbs up the inside wall of the tube. This happens because water molecules are attracted to the glass particles by adhesion. Capillary action is responsible for water moving through a plant. Plant roots, stems, and leaves contain capillaries. Water molecules are attracted to the walls of these capillaries. As water molecules move up the capillaries, cohesion pulls other water molecules along, causing an upward flow. 4. Fill a plastic cup with water. Add several drops of blue or red food coloring. Trim the top and bottom ends of a stalk of celery. Observe the structure of the celery stalk from the end. Place one end of the celery stalk in the water. Observe for 10 15 minutes. 5. How would the diameter of a tube affect the height to which water would rise by capillary action? Explain your reasoning. States of Matter 21
