Q

describe the properties of matter in terms of kinetic molecular theory

A

according to this theory, all matter consists of extremely tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) in constant motion

Q

motioning and positioning of particles of any substance as a solid

A

particles are packed closely together, usually in a regular pattern
particles vibrate back and forth about their average positions but seldom do particles squeeze past their immediate neighbors to come into contact with a new set of particles

Q

motioning and positioning of particles of any substance as a liquid

A

the particles are arranged randomly rather than in the regular patterns found in solids.
the particles are not confined to specific locations and can move past one another

Q

motioning and positioning of particles of any substance as a gas

A

the particles are far apart
molecules move extremely rapidly and are not constrained by their neighbors. The molecules fly about, colliding with one another and with the container walls.
this random motion allows molecules to fill their container, so the volume of the sample is the volume of the container
