I don't understand why this is highlighted bold in the specification, showing that it's for Single Science, because this is so simple.
5.7 understand that a substance can change state from solid to liquid by the process of melting
5.8 understand that a substance can change state from liquid to gas by the process of evaporation or boiling
5.9 recall that particles in a liquid have a random motion within a close-packed irregular structure
5.10 recall that particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions within a close-packed regular structure
State
of matter

Arrangement
of particles

Movement
of particles
|
|
- Closely packed
together, usually in a regular pattern, occupying minimum space.
- This
results in solids having high densities.
|
- Vibrate about
fixed positions only. Held in position by very strong intermolecular bonds.
- This explains
why solids have fixed volumes and shapes.
|
|
- Randomly
arranged with the particles slightly further apart as compared to that of
solids.
- This results
in liquids having relatively high
densities.
|
- Free to
move about but confined within the vessel containing it. Have attractive
forces between particles.
- This explains
why liquids have fixed volume but will take the shape of vessels containing
them.
|
|
- Very far
apart. Particles are randomly arranged and will occupy any available space.
- This results
in gases having very low densities.
|
- Particles
have very little attraction between them and move about randomly at very high
speed.
- This explains
why gases have no fixed volume and shape, and why they are highly compressible.

theze images cannot be viewed and i am only dissappointed about it! would be helpful with pix... :)
ReplyDeleteanyway this is very much helpful than our own teachers.! well thank u! :D
