Abstract
A preliminary research related to students' difficulties investigated that abstract atomic motion and counting material are the hardest materials to understand by the students. Therefore, to overcome this, a study on multimedia used in material of phase diagram was conducted. The research design was a quasi-experimental method done with pre-test and post-test to collect the data. The results revealed that the use of animation helped students to understand the material and supported them in doing their learning activity well.

Among the students’ difficulties in understanding phase diagram material, identifying characteristics of the material is considered one of the problems faced by the students
The students are required to have a specific thinking ability referring to problem solving skill
Multimedia animation phase diagrams are created as representative instructional media to explain the concept of a system clearly which provide the students to get experience in their learning [9]
Summary
Among the students’ difficulties in understanding phase diagram material, identifying characteristics of the material is considered one of the problems faced by the students. To master this subject, the students are required to have a specific thinking ability referring to problem solving skill. Problem solving is a strategic and active interpretation and evaluation of observation and communication, information and argumentation. This ability is classified into six aspects namely: focus, reason, conclusion, situation, clarity, and review [2]. Problem solving deals with an ability to explain what is thought, that is learning how to ask, when to ask and what the question is about
