Model states of matter using particle diagrams

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 3

Particle model state identification

A school spectroscopy trial shows particles that are close together but able to flow. Identify the physical state represented by the particle diagram. Use the diagram labels first, then answer carefully. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
