Q

State three points of the particle model.

A
  • All matter is made up of tiny particles.
  • Particles are represented by small, solid spheres.
  • Three states of matter have different arrangements of particles.

Q

State three points of the particle model’s limitations.

A
  • Particles have forces of attraction between them that cannot be shown using this model.
  • Particles can be different shapes depending on the substance.
  • Particles are not solid; much of the particles are empty space.

36
Q

Describe the difference between evaporation and boiling.

[evaporation]

A
  • A substance can evaporate at any temperature whilst it is a liquid.
  • Evaporation can only take place at the surface of a liquid.
37
Q

Describe the difference between evaporation and boiling.

[boiling]

A
  • A substance can only boil at one temperature; the boiling point of that substance.
  • Boiling takes place throughout the liquid.
38
Q

Between particles there are [_o__es _f a__ra___on]

A

Between particles there are forces of attraction.

Q

The stronger the forces between the particles, the more energy needed to change the state of the substance. This means that the melting and boling points […]

A

…will be higher.

40
Q

The weaker the forces between the particles, the less energy needed to change the state of the substance. This means that the melting and boiling points […]
