Self Assessment Checklist
| Kinetic Particle Theory | I can do this! | |
| (a) | Describe the solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter. | |
| (b) | Explain the interconversion of states of matter in terms of the kinetic particle theory and of the energy changes involved. | |
| (c) | Explain the differences between boiling and evaporation. | |
| (d) | Given the melting point and boiling point of a substance, determine the state of matter the substance exists in at a particular temperature. | |
| (e) | Describe and explain evidence for the movement of particles in liquids and gases (using diffusion). | |
| (f) | Explain everyday effects of diffusion in terms of particles, e.g. the spread of aroma; tea and coffee grains in water. | |
| (g) | State qualitatively the effect of molecular mass on the rate of diffusion and explain the dependence of rate of diffusion on temperature. | |
