When atoms are separated the substance changes forms.
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
These are a few of the forms. The substance becomes more fluid, more easily shaped and compressed. It is able to form new materials, and is easier to ignite.

Do particles get smaller or bigger when heated?
When particles are heated or cooled, they do not change size at all. They simply move with greater kinetic energy so the space between particles increases. This prompts the changes in size we see when substances are heated or cooled.
What happens when particles are warm?
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
What is the relationship between energy and movement of particles in a substance?
Movement requires energy.
What happens to the motion of an object's particles as their thermal energy increases?
They start to move faster, therefore, the reaction will happen quicker. This is because there is more chance of a collision between the particles.
Describe the connection between kinetic energy and the movement of particles in a substance?
If an object moves, it has kinetic energy. The same applies to particles.
For most substances the distance between particles is smallest when the substance?
a solid
What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance increases, as the particles become more energetic and the substance loses its definite volume, as the particles bounce around, due to heat/increased energy.
What is an attraction between particles of the same substance called?
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
Which type of substance is most likely to experience an attraction between its particles?
All substances experience attraction between their particles. These vary in type and strength. If there were no forces they would never form liquids or solids. You could say that the strongest bonds are in the substances with the highest melting points.
Why the slope between volume and temperature rise exponentially?
As temperature increases, the bonds between the particles of the substance break down at a faster and faster rate. As the state transitions from solid to liquid and liquid to gas, the volume the substance occupies increases along an exponential curve.
Do particles get smaller or bigger when heated?
When particles are heated or cooled, they do not change size at all. They simply move with greater kinetic energy so the space between particles increases. This prompts the changes in size we see when substances are heated or cooled.
What are the links between particles in a substance?
Links between particles in a substance...hmm....this is a tricky one, but if I'm right, it should be ATOMS. Does that fit?
Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the?
rate of collisions between particles. average velocity of the particles.
How is temperature related to energy?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance, As a substance gains kinetic energy, its particles begin to move faster. While solids vibrate in place, the particles in a liquid slip and slide past each other, and in gasses, the particles move even faster and further apart. As the kinetic energy of a substance increases, the particles collide with one another with greater force and frequency. Every time particles collide, there is friction between them. Just as your hands get warm when you rub them together, the particles begin to warm as they collide. This is why there is a direct relationship between the temperature and the kinetic energy of a substance.
Does density of a substance generally decrease while the temperature increases?
No, the density of most substances typically decreases as the temperature increases. This is because the increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in the average kinetic energy of the substance's particles, causing them to move faster and occupy a larger volume. As a result, the density, which is defined as mass divided by volume, decreases. However, there are some exceptions, such as water, where the density increases between 0°C and 4°C due to changes in the structure of the water molecules.
As you get higher in the atmosphere the space between air particles?
Increases
What do the initials PIASM stand for in the particle theory?
P-particles (All matter is made up of particles)I-identical (All particles in one substance are identical)S-spacing (There is different spacing between particles of different substances)A-attraction (Particles have a certain attraction to one another depending on the state)M-movement (Particles are in constant motion)
