The Particle Theory - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Fixed mass, but volume and shape is indefinite
      - Very weak intermolecular attraction
      - Molecules have more energy than liquids, flow in all directions
  - - - Fixed mass and volume, but shape is indefinite
      - Weak intermolecular attraction
      - Molecules have more energy than solids, can flow
  - - - Crystalline
        
        Molecules arranged in a symmetrical pattern - Crystal Lattice
        
        Smallest repeating structure - Unit Cell
        
        Incompressible
        
        Distinct melting point
      - Amorphous
        
        ‘Solids without form’
        
        No pattern in the arrangement of molecules
    - - Molecular
        
        Electrostatic force
      - Network Covalent
        
        No individual molecules, atoms bonded - electrostatic force
      - Ionic
        
        Attraction between opposite charges
      - Metallic
        
        Valence electrons NOT donated or shared
        
        Unlike
        
        Electron Clouds overlap - electrons get delocalised
    - - Strong force of attraction between particles
      - Molecules have limited energy, hence vibrate in position
      - Fixed mass, volume, shape
- - - - Smallest division of a substance while still retaining its properties
    - - Smallest division of an element. Building blocks of molecules
