Three states of matter
What you need to learn in this topic
- Generalise that matter consists of particles
- Compare and contrast three states of matter based on the kinetic theory in terms of the arrangement and movement of particles
- Use space-time relationships to compare rate of diffusion in three states of matter
- Describe the change in state of matter, in terms of movement of particles caused by the absorption and the release of heat, based on kinetic theory
- Conclude that temperature remains constant during freezing, melting and boiling
- Conclude that the mass remains constant during physical changes
- Explain with examples the changes of the state of matter in daily life
