Density And Kinetic Theory Flashcards
What’s density
The mass of an object divided by its volume
What’s the equation for density
Mass÷volume
What’s the unit of density
Kg/m³
What’s kinetic theory
It’s the properties of solids liquids and gases according to the arrangement and motion of their molecules
What are some things about solids
-molecules are packed close together
-they vibrate about fixed positions
-have a fixed shape and volume
-have a high density
-strong forces of attraction
What are some things about liquids
-molecules are close together
-can move around in any direction
-have a fixed volume
-medium density
-forces of attraction are quite strong
What are some things about gases
-large distances between molecules
-molecules move around quickly
-completely fill container
-very low density
-forces of attraction are negligible
