  • C1.1 = The particle model
    • C1.1.1 Introducing particles
      • Solids: Particles have no room to move and can only vibrate.
      • Liquids: Particles have little room to move and can vibrate.
      • Gases: Particles have lots of room to move around rapidly and vibrate a lot.
      • when a substance is changing state, the temperature stays the same.
      • Solid to liquid: Melting
      • Liquid to Gas: Evaporating/ Boiling
      • Gas to Liquid: Condencing
      • Liquid to Solid: Freezing
    • C1.1.2 Chemical and physical changes
      • A physical change happens when the substance changes state or shape, or breaks into pieces.(Reversible)
        • Ice into water
        • mixing sand and water
        • Dissolving sugar in water
      • A chemical change is a change that produces one or more new substances. (Impossible to reverse)
        • Cooking any type of food
        • Steel rusting
        • Acid reacting with alkali to make salt and water
      • When particles change state, the particles stay the same but their arrangements and movement changes
      • However in chemical changes, the particles break up and then join together in different combonations
    • C1.1.3 Limitations of the particle model
      • There are electrostatic forces between particles
