Kinetic Energy Flashcards
What are particles in a solid like?
They have a strong force so they are stuck together arranged in rows.
How much energy do particles have in a solid?
Not much energy so they can only vibrate a little
What are particle like in a liquid?
They have weaker forces of attraction so they are not arranged in neet rows however they are close together but can move past each over
How much energy dose liquids have?
More than solids as they move in different directions in a slow speed
What are particles like in a gas?
They are no force of attraction between them so they are all spaced out as they move around at high speed.
How much energy dose liquids have?
More than solids or gasses as they move at high speed
Dose conduction of heat mainly happen in solids,liquids or gasses?
Solids
What are conductors?
Materials with there particles close together as they bang into each over and pass energy
Why are metals good conductors?
Because of there free electrons
What are particles like in a insulator?
The particles have large spaces between them
What dose kinetic theory mean?
How particles move in solids,liquids and gasses
How dose a solid turn into a liquid?
As the solid is heated the particles gain energy which is passed on between particles eventually they have enough energy to mover around freely turning into a liquid.
