Particles in Solids, Liquids and Gases: a 3D model for Class 6–9 Science, covering All matter is made of tiny particles that are always moving., In a solid the particles are packed in a regular pattern and vibrate about fixed positions…, In a liquid the particles are close together but not in a fixed pattern; they slide past one another…, In a gas the particles are far apart and move freely in all directions, colliding with each other and the walls…, Putting energy in makes particles move faster and spread apart (melting, boiling)….

Topics

  • All matter is made of tiny particles that are always moving.
  • In a solid the particles are packed in a regular pattern and vibrate about fixed positions…
  • In a liquid the particles are close together but not in a fixed pattern; they slide past one another…
  • In a gas the particles are far apart and move freely in all directions, colliding with each other and the walls…
  • Putting energy in makes particles move faster and spread apart (melting, boiling)…
  • A change of state is reversible: the same particles can be a solid, a liquid or a gas.
