Question

Explain the term phase transition point with an example.

Answer 1

Phase transition point,

1. The Phase Transition Point is a measurement of the conditions at which the transition occurs.
2. The Curie point is an example of a transition between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of magnetic materials.
3. Because molecular mobility is restricted at low temperatures, the molecules are bound by a strong intermolecular force of attraction. This is a fixed period.
4. At high temperatures, however, molecular motion is caused by the translational energy of molecules, so intermolecular forces are weak, whereas at intermediate temperatures, molecules are in translation motion yet are bound to one another.
5. The phases of matter are divided into three categories: solid, liquid, and gas.
6. For example, the transition from solid to liquid occurs at the melting point of the solid, while the transition from liquid to gas occurs at the boiling point of the liquid.
