    The lesson plan aims to analyze the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. Students will distinguish between these states based on molecular arrangement, movement, and intermolecular forces. They will interpret graphs of force versus separation (F-r) and potential energy versus separation (U-r) to understand properties of solids like Hooke's law and thermal expansion. The lesson involves demonstrations, interactive activities with graphs, and a worksheet to assess understanding.

    Worksheet Solutions

    Question 1

    (a) The forces between molecules are negligible.


    Molecules are separated far apart. The size of a molecule is negligible compared to the separation
    between molecules.
    (b) The force between molecules are weak short-range forces.
    (c) There are strong attractive and repulsive forces between atoms in a crystalline solid.
    Attractive force - when the atoms are close to each other, and repulsive force when the
    atoms are further apart.

    Question 2

    Attractive force: long range, and increases slowly as the separation between atoms decreases.
    Repulsive force: short range. Negligible when atoms are far apart.
    Increases at a fast rate as the separation between atoms decreases.

    Question 5

    (a) Separation between atoms in the equilibrium position is smaller for P.


    At the equilibrium separation ro, U is minimum. The graphs show that ro is smaller for P.

    (b) P has the greater Young’s modulus because its graph is sharper for values of r around the
    minimum point.
