This document contains a mark scheme for 3 questions assessing understanding of physics concepts. Question 1 (3 marks) addresses how decreasing volume or temperature affects gas pressure. Question 2 (3 marks) involves describing conduction of heat in metals. Question 3 (4 marks) is about why smoke particles disperse in air due to molecular collisions. The mark scheme provides the essential points needed for the answer and the number of marks awarded for each.

particles collide more often (1) (as the temperature decreases) the particles collide less violently (1) two effects cancel (to leave the pressure unchanged) OR particles collide with walls / piston / cylinder (1)
