What three things does the Kinetic Theory of Matter say?
- all matter is made of atoms
- all atoms are moving in some type of way
- atoms are attracted to each other by “Forces of Attraction”
What are two common properties of soilds?
definite volume
denfinite shape
What two things do you need to metion when explaining something using kentic theory?
movemt of atoms and F of A
How would would explain soilds using KT?
atoms are vibrating and touching. F of A are very strong.
What are the common properies of liquids
denfinite volume
no definite shape
How would you explian a liquid suing KT?
atoms are sliding by each other & toucing. F of A are still strong, but not as strong as solid’s.
What is viscoisty?
A liquid’s abliity to resist flowing
What are some examples of liquid’s with low viscosity? (5)
- water
- milk
- juice
- mercury
- gasoline
What are some examples of liquids with high vicosity? (6)
- corn syurp
- honey
- glue
- oil
- mollasses
- peanut butter
How woukd you use KT to explain viscosity?
some liquids have a strong F of A than others
What are the common properties of gas?
no definite volume
no definite shape
How would you explain gas using KT?
atoms are free, sperate, & bouncing around. There are no F of A in a gas
