How do the particles behave in the reaction between iron and sulphur?

The iron atoms absorb enough energy to lose three electrons each and become iron(III) ions. The octa-atomic sulphur molecules absorb enough energy to become sulphur atoms. These atoms each gain two electrons to become sulphide ions with a -2 charge each. Since electrons are conserved, 1½ times as many sulphur atoms so react as do iron atoms. These ions now form a solid and give up energy. The overall process gives up energy (enough so that some of the solid goes off as a smoke).
Depending on how far you are in chemistry, you could get by with this explanation, or you could discuss whether the iron(III) sulphide formed is a simple ionic solid as described or something a bit more complicated.

How do particles of reactants at higher temperatures behave?
Particles move at a faster rate at higher temperatures, than they do at lower temperatures. This is do to the fact that heat is a form of energy. When a particle has more energy is moves faster.
Why do gases behave most ideally?
is it true the space between gas particles becomes very large
Why was it important for Thomson to repeat his experiment?
Thomson did the experiment various times to observe if the particles behave the same way. How they did he determined they were the same kind later called electrons.
What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
The ability to cause others to behave as they might not otherwise choose to do?
The ability to cause others to behave as they might not otherwise choose to do is manipulation.

According to kenetic theory what correctly describes how particles behave?
Particles are small, hard spheres of insignificant volume. Attractive and repulsive forces between particles are weak.
How do melting particles behave?
The particles are moving rapidly
How do air particles behave when under pressure?
The air particles are behave like collidel particles because they collide with each other and form a high weight of air.
How do particles behave when freezing?
when freezing, particles moves slow with out stopping.
What are the products of the reaction between antimony trioxide and water?
antimony is amphoteric, so in water it will behave as an acid and a base
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like waves and particles this is characterised by the wave side in the Bohr model and can be diffracted yet it will collide with other particles.
What explains how the particles in gases behave?
