Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus for exams in 2026, 2027 and 20282026–2028

Practise recognising solids, liquids and gases from their shape, volume and room-temperature state in short written responses.

How this is tested

  • state whether a substance is solid, liquid or gas from shape, volume or room-temperature data
  • describe liquids as fixed volume but taking the shape of their container

Question 1(a)

[Maximum number: 1]

Particles behave differently when in different physical states.

Solids have a fixed volume and a definite shape.

Gases have no fixed volume and take the shape of the container.
Describe the volume and shape of liquids.
