• There is attraction and repulsion between particles.
• Diffusing - the movement of particles in liquids and gases
from high concentration areas to low concentration areas.

arrangement.
model of matter - Strong forces of attraction.
• Adding heat to a solid cause the attractive
forces to break – the solid melts. (A) - Particles have very low kinetic energy.
• Adding heat to a liquid causes it to boil and
vaporise into gas. • Liquids:
- Particles are loosely arranged.

- Move spontaneously, slide past each
other and have high kinetic energy.
Losing heat - Have weaker forces than solids.
• Heat energy is given off when a gas changes
back into a liquid. • Gases:

turns into a solid – freezing/ solidification.
Forces of attraction and - Very high kinetic energy.
repulsion between particles
• If the attraction forces are greater than the repulsion
forces, the particles come closer together – solids and
liquids.
• If the repulsive forces are stronger than the attractive
forces, the particles are further apart – gases.
• Heat makes the particles move faster and push each
other away more – causes a gas/liquid to expand.
