Part (a)
Matter is made up of ATOMS! Atoms
are little bits too small for us to see.
They are so tiny you can’t break
them down further.

Part (a)
Matter is made up of
very small things. These
things can be broken
down into smaller… and
smaller… and smaller
pieces.

Part (a)
John Dalton (1766 – 1844)
English Chemist
Matter is made up of
small individual
particles. These
particles are like solid
balls.

Robert Brown (1773 –
1858)
Scottish Scientist
Pollen grains floating on
water are moving about.
It seems that matter is not
only made up of small
particles, the particles are
constantly moving.

Part (a)
Albert Einstein (1879 –
1955)
German-born American
Physicist
Pollen grains are moving
about because they are
being bombarded by
smaller, moving water
particles. Not because
they can move by
themselves.

The Particulate Model of Matter suggests that:
1. All matter is made up of small discrete particles.
2. The small discrete particles are in
constant and random motion.

?Whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid or gas depends
on the temperature it is in.
nIf the temperature of the substance is lower than its
melting point, it will remain as a solid.
tIf the temperature of the substance is higher than its
melting point but lower than its boiling point, it will
remain as a liquid.
iIf the temperature of the substance is higher than its
boiling point, then it will remain as a gas.
hWhen a substance is at gaseous state, it will not undergo
any further change in state even if temperature continues to
increase. Nothing happens above boiling point .
aSimiarly, when a substance is at solid state, it will not
undergo any further change in state even if temperature
continues to decrease. Nothing happens below melting
point.
Part (c)
27
Change of state is also known as phase change.
Change of state occurs without a change in
temperature.
Matter exists in three states (phases): solid,
liquid and gas. In changes of state (phase),
energy is either absorbed (taken in) or
released (given out).
Part (c)
28
Part (c)
Change of state occurs without a change in temperature. This means
that when a substance is changing from the solid to liquid state, the
temperature stops increasing until everything turns into liquid.
29
Part (c)
30
Melting is a process in which
the substance changes its state
from solid to liquid.
For a pure substance, melting
occurs at a constant
temperature. This
temperature is called the
melting point of the
substance.
During melting, the substance
is in both solid & liquid state.
Part (c)
31
Interaction -> Forces
between particles are
being overcome.
Collapse of molecular
structure -> Particles lose
their fixed, regular
arrangement.
State of matter -> Solid &
Liquid states exist at the
same time.
Temperature stays constant
-> Energy is absorbed to
break bonds, not to
increase internal energy
of substance.
Part (c)
32
Freezing also occurs at a fixed
temperature and is the same as
the melting temperature.
During freezing, the substance
exists in both solid & liquid
state.
The reverse process of changing from liquid to
solid is called freezing.
Part (c)
33
Formation of molecular
structure -> Particles
arrange themselves in fixed,
regular arrangement.
State of matter -> Solid &
Liquid states exist at the
same time.
Temperature stays
constant -> Energy is given
out to form bonds.
Interaction ->
Attractive forces
increase between
particles

Boiling is a process in which the
substance changes its state
from liquid to gas.
For a pure substance, boiling
occurs at a constant
temperature. This
temperature is called the
boiling point of the
substance.
During boiling, the substance
exists in both solid & liquid
state.
Part (c)
36
Interaction -> Forces
between particles are
being overcome. Weak
intermolecular forces
between particles.
Particle Behaviour->
Particles move randomly at
high speeds. No fixed
shape, no fixed volume. Fill
up empty space quickly.
State of matter -> Liquid &
Gaseous states exist at the
same time.
Temperature stays constant
-> Energy is absorbed to
break bonds, not to
increase internal energy
of substance.

37
Condensation also occurs at a
fixed temperature and is the same
as the boiling temperature.
During condensation, the
substance exists in both
liquid & gaseous state.
The reverse process of changing from gas to
liquid is called condensation.
