CONTENT The Particle Model and
changes of state.
The particle model explains the properties
LEARNING of solids, liquids, and gases and the
STANDARD process involved in the changes of state.

ACTIVITY:
You will be given a piece of paper
and you will write examples of a
matter, then paste it on the
group base on its phase (SOLID,
LIQUID, or GAS) on the board.
ACTIVITY:
On your given examples of
matter how did you grouped
SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GASES?
PARTICLE MODEL OF MATTER
Is a fundamental concept in Science that
describes the nature of all matter.
It is a Scientific Theory that explains the
properties of SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GASES
by suggesting that all matter is made up of
particles that behave differently.
PARTICLE MODELS OF MATTER
SOLID LIQUID GAS
According to this model:
1. All matter is composed of
tiny, invisible particles.
2. Each pure substance has
its own unique type of
particles.
3. Particles are in constant
motion, with the amount of
motion varying based on the
state of matter.
STATES OF MATTER AND THE
PARTICLE MODEL
SOLIDS
Arrangement of Particles:
• Arranged in fixed,
orderly pattern.
• Particles are closely
packed together and
have a limited range of
motion.
SOLIDS
Properties of solids:
• Fixed shape
• Fixed volume
• High Density
• Resistant to change:
solids are rigid and can
resist change in shape
and volume.
LIQUIDS
Arrangement of Particles:
• Still closely packed, but
NOT in fixed orderly
pattern.
• Particles can move freely
past one another, but are
still attracted to each
other.
LIQUIDS
Properties of Liquids:
• Fixed volume
• Variable shape
• Moderate density
• Can flow and change
shape easily
GAS
Arrangement of Particles:
• Particles are widely
spaced and have no
fixed arrangement.
• Particles move randomly
and independently, with
NO attraction to each
other.
GAS
Properties of gases:
• Variable shape: No fixed
shape and expand to fill the
container they are in.
• Variable volume: can be
compressed and forced
close together.
• Low Density
