The particle model is an example of a scientific model. It draws on the idea that matter is not continuous, but is instead made up of particles. More specifically, the model is based on the following statements:
Matter is made up of particles that are extremely small.
These particles are in constant movement.
When the temperature increases, the movement of these particles increases.
The particles may be held together by forces of attraction.
The PARTICLE MODEL is a scientific model based on
the idea that matter is made up of small particles.
