What this topic asks you to be able to do
- give the properties that set solids, liquids and gases apart
- outline the structures of solids, liquids and gases by describing how far apart the particles sit, how they are arranged and how they move
- outline and account for changes of state (melting, boiling, evaporating, freezing and condensing) using kinetic particle theory
- interpret heating and cooling curves and account for them using kinetic particle theory
- outline and account for, using kinetic particle theory, how temperature and pressure affect the volume of a gas
