Chapter 2: Kinetic Particle Theory

Question 1

What is the kinetic particle theory

Answer 1

All matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant, random motion

Question 2

Arrangement, movement and forces of attraction between particles in a solid

Answer 2

Arrangement: Very closely packed in an orderly manner
Movement: Vibrating about fixed positions
Forces of attraction: Very strong

Question 3

Arrangement, movement and forces of attraction between particles in a liquid

Answer 3

Arrangement: closely packed in a disorderly manner
Movement: Sliding past one another freely throughout the lquid
Forces of attraction: Strong

Question 4

Arrangement, movement and forces of attraction between particles in a gas

Answer 4

Arrangement: Very far apart in a disorderly manner
Movement: moving quickly and randomly
Forces of attraction: very weak

Question 5

Differences between boiling and evaporation?

Answer 5

Evaporation occurs at any temperature below the boiling point and only at the surface of the liqud.
Boiling occurs only at the boiling point and throughout the liquid

Question 6

Definition of diffusion?

Answer 6

The net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

Question 7

Which states can undergo diffusion?

Answer 7

Liquid and Gas because particles are free to move in the liquid

Question 8

Factors affecting rate of diffusion?

Answer 8

Molecular mass (heavier=slower)
Tenperature(kinetic energy=move faster)

Question 9

Factors affecting rate of diffusion?

Answer 9

Molecular mass (heavier=slower)
Tenperature(kinetic energy=move faster)
