Particle theory – solids, liquids and gases
© www.teachitscience.co.uk 2015 23326 Page 1 of 5
Key vocabulary
Properties: The way a substance looks and behaves.
States of matter: Solids, liquids and gases.
Density: The mass of something compared to its volume.
Key information
The three states of matter; solids, liquids and gases, all have different properties. This is
because of the way the particles are arranged inside the substances.
Task One
Read the description of how the particles are arranged in each state of matter and draw
the particle model in the box.
Solid particle arrangement
The particles are very close together in an ordered
arrangement.
The particles vibrate in a fixed position.
The particles have very strong forces between them.
Liquid particle arrangement
The particles are close together.
The particles are free to move below the surface.
The particles vibrate and move round each other.
The particles have quite strong forces between them.
Gas particle arrangement
The particles are far apart in a random arrangement.
The particles are free to move anywhere.
The forces between the particles are weak.

Task three
Match the properties to the correct state of matter and write them in the correct box.
Remember that states of matter can have the same properties.

Teaching notes and answers
This activity sheet introduces some of the key vocabulary and knowledge required for
students to understand particle theory.
Task one is a short comprehension exercise. Students must use and interpret the
information provided to draw the particle model.
Task two is to check the students’ knowledge and understanding of task one and to
further cement their learning.
Task three links the particle model of the states of matter to the properties of that state.
