The kinetic theory model
The kinetic theory model

Kinetic theory explains the properties of solids, liquids and gases using particles. It considers three features: the separation of the particles, their arrangement, and how they move.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel GCSE Physics 14.1 Density and states of matter, covering 14.1.1 Kinetic theory and states of matter, 14.1.2 Density, and 14.1.3 Density and changes of state. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Master the required practical work and core equations early, since both papers can draw on content and maths skills from across the whole specification.
