The tiny pieces that make up objects
Particles
Name the three states of matter.
Gas, Liquid, Solid
A type of mixture that appears to be made up of just one thing
Homogeneous
The substance doing the breaking down
Solvent
When a liquid changes state and becomes a gas

The particles gain energy, move faster, and begin to move past each other, breaking the fixed structure of a solid.
