O Level Physics 5054 · Kinetic particle model of matter. 1 Describe, qualitatively, the particle structure of solids, liquids and gases, relating their properties to the forces and distances between particles and to the motion of the particles (atoms, molecules, ions and electrons) 2 Describe the relationship between the motion of particles and temperature, including the idea that there is a lowest possible temperature (−273 °C), known as absolute zero, where the particles have least kinetic energy 3 Describe the pressure and the changes in pressure of a gas in terms of the forces exerted by particles colliding with surfaces, creating a force per unit area 4 Explain qualitatively, in terms of particles, the relationship between: (a) pressure and temperature at constant volume (b) volume and temperature at constant pressure (c) pressure and volume at constant temperature 5 Recall and use the equation p1V1 = p2V2, including a graphical represent
