IGCSE Chemistry Notes on The Particulate nature of matter
Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry Revision Notes prepared by Cambridge trained staff with rich experience.
Syllabus Objectives:
Core
State the distinguishing properties of solids,
liquids and gases
Describe the structure of solids, liquids and gases
in terms of particle separation, arrangement and
types of motion
Describe changes of state in terms of melting,
boiling, evaporation, freezing, condensation and
sublimation
Describe qualitatively the pressure and
temperature of a gas in terms of the motion of
its particles
Show an understanding of the random motion
of particles in a suspension (sometimes known
as Brownian motion) as evidence for the kinetic
particle (atoms, molecules or ions) model of
matter
Describe and explain diffusion
Supplement
Explain changes of state in terms of the kinetic
theory
Describe and explain Brownian motion in terms
of random molecular bombardment
State evidence for Brownian motion
Describe and explain dependence of rate of
diffusion on molecular mass
