01. Nature of Matter

• 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

• 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
