Key Stage 3
Meaning
The particle model is a scientific theory that all matter is made of particles, and that those particles behave differently in solids, liquids and gases.
About The Particle Model
- The particle model explains the properties of solids, liquids and gases.
- The particle model can explain changes of state.
- Evidence of the particle model can be shown by pouring 50ml of pure water and 50ml of pure ethanol into a measuring cylinder. The solution is only 97ml because ethanol molecules are bigger than water molecules so the water molecules fit between the ethanol molecules like pouring 50ml of sand and 50ml of marbles into the same container. It will not make 100ml.
