Matter and Particle Models
Use particle models to explain matter, state changes, simple atomic structure, and how substances can combine or stay as mixtures.
📋 What You'll Learn
- 1 Describe matter as made of particles too small to see directly
- 2 Use particle motion to explain states of matter and state changes
- 3 Distinguish atoms, molecules, compounds, and mixtures at an introductory level
- 4 Use models to explain why temperature can change particle motion
