About States of Matter and Gases

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

This unit sits in the Matter and Its Properties strand of Chemistry. Much of it follows the particle model. The mind map States Of Matter IGCSE CHEMISTRY describes solids with particles in neat rows that vibrate, and liquids with particles that touch but can move. The Kinetic Particle Theory mind maps and the notes on kinetic molecular theory build on the same idea.

The gas side is covered too. Two mind maps called Gas Laws set out pressure units, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, Gay Lussac's Law and the combined gas law. There is also a flashcard deck called MCAT Chemistry - Ideal Gases, and the deck 5 Tests For Gases covers testing for gases.

Where to start

  1. Open the flashcard deck States Of Matter or the deck Solids, Liquids and Gases to learn the three states and their properties.
  2. Read a mind map such as Changes in State to see how heating and cooling move particles.
  3. Move on to diffusion, using the mind map Diffusion.
  4. Finish with the gas laws, through the mind maps and the slides called The gas laws slides.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz. The G9 IGCSE Chemistry C1 The Particulate Nature of Matter Quiz asks which changes move particles further apart and what happens during evaporation. The quiz Chapter 10- liquids and intermolecular forces asks you to complete statements about crystalline solids and liquids. Note the questions you miss, go back to the matching map, then retry.

Levels and exams

Most resources are written for secondary students. Listed resources mention GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry and A-level Chemistry, and one deck mentions the MCAT. Check each resource's title and content to see whether it matches your course.

Make it your own

Once you have worked through a few resources, pick the gaps that remain and build your own flashcards or mind map to fill them. Teachers can also pick a ready-made deck or slide set to use in class.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck States Of Matter or the mind map States Of Matter IGCSE CHEMISTRY. Both set out how particles are arranged and behave in solids, liquids and gases. Once those make sense, move on to changes of state, diffusion and then the gas laws.

What do the Gas Laws mind maps include?

The two mind maps called Gas Laws cover pressure units, molecular collisions, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law and Gay Lussac's Law. One also lists the combined gas law and links to stoichiometry, including volume-volume problems. They work well as a summary before you try a gas laws quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking that each one matches your course. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own resources.

Which levels and exams do these resources suit?

Most of the resources are at secondary level, so they suit school students. Listed titles and content mention GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry and A-level Chemistry, and one flashcard deck is aimed at the MCAT. Teachers can use them as ready-made starting points for lessons or revision.

Are there quizzes on this unit?

Yes, there are more than 70 quizzes. Examples include the quiz on liquids and intermolecular forces, the G9 IGCSE Chemistry particulate nature of matter quiz and a quiz called gas laws test. Use them after reading a mind map or going through flashcards.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try searching for a related term, such as particles, kinetic theory, diffusion or gases, since many resources use different titles for the same idea. If nothing fits, make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz from your class notes.
