Kinetic energy
Energy an object has due to its motion
Kinetic in greek means _________
“Move”
Knetic theory
Explains how particles behave
1) all matter is composed of particles
2) particles are in constant random motion
3) particles collide with eachother
Solid
Definite shape and volume. Particles are closely packed in geometric arangement
Liquid
Indefinite shape and definite volume. Particles have more space and slide past eachother
Gas
Indefinite shape and volume. Particles have energy to spread out evenly in container
Plasma
High temperature gas. Particles positively and negatively charged
Temperature
Measure of how hot or cold something is compared to a reference point
The state of a sample of matter depends on ______
Temperature
Temperature is
- related to average kinetic energy of an object
- when the temperature increases, matter expands
- decreases, matter contracts
What is the exception
