Particle Model

Matter is modelled as particles whose spacing and motion vary with state and temperature.

What to remember

  • Gas particles are far apart compared with solids.
  • Diffusion results from particle motion.
  • Heating increases average particle kinetic energy.
  • State changes involve energy transfer.
  • Particles are conserved during physical change.

Key words

particle — small constituent in a matter model
diffusion — spreading due to particle motion
kinetic energy — energy of motion
state — solid/liquid/gas form
temperature — related to average particle kinetic energy
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.

What this Year 8 / Grade 8 science drill practises

Use particles to explain states, diffusion and thermal effects. This daily drill is designed as short retrieval practice rather than a complete course. It can be used for school revision, homework, warm-ups or independent practice.

  • Gas particles are far apart compared with solids.
  • Diffusion results from particle motion.
  • Heating increases average particle kinetic energy.
  • State changes involve energy transfer.
  • Particles are conserved during physical change.

International use: the topic is organised by broadly useful school-level progression. Exact curriculum timing and terminology can vary between countries, states and schools.
