By answering the questions below, you will think about what is happening at those labeled
points and what they can tell us in terms of particle behavior.

1. Label the sections on the graph where the substance is a solid, liquid and a gas?
2. Describe what is happening between each of the points:
i. A-B? ___________________________________________
ii. B-C? ___________________________________________
iii. C-D? ___________________________________________
iv. D-E? ___________________________________________
v. E-F? ___________________________________________
3. Describe the way that the particles are arranged and behaving between A-B, what
happens to them between points B-C and what they are like after point C?
