-stuff in blue is not on the syllabus but it might help you to understand to know those things.
-the section titles are underlined and in bold and in size 14. The sub-sections are only underlined and in bold.
-words in red are the ones which you have to know the definition of.
1. The particulate nature of matter
Kinetic Theory:
States of matter:
Solid:
1. Strong forces of attraction between particles
2. Have a fixed pattern (lattice)
