What examiners said

When discussing particles in solids, liquids and gases candidates should be encouraged to consider three aspects: motion, separation and arrangement. In this question relating specifically to a model only the latter two were relevant as the model did not show the motion of the particles and so provided no evidence in this regard. Therefore, candidates should have responded with the idea that parti...
