Density
State of matter
The way in which particles are arranged- solid, liquid or gas
The way in which particles are arranged- solid, liquid or gas
State of matter
Change of state
When a substance changes from one state to another. Energy changes the state, not temperature
When a substance changes from one state to another. Energy changes the state, not temperature
Change of state
Physical change
A change that can be reversed to recover the original material e.g a change of state
A change that can be reversed to recover the original material e.g a change of state
Physical change
Chemical change
A change that creates new products. Cannot be reversed e.g a chemical reaction
A change that creates new products. Cannot be reversed e.g a chemical reaction
Chemical change
Internal energy
The energy stored inside a system by the particles (atoms and molecules) that make up a system. Internal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles.

Potential energy
Energy stored in particles because of their position. The further apart the particles are, the greater the potential energy
