Kinetic molecular theory

Question 1

Kinetic molecular theory

Answer 1

A model that is a way to explain our macroscopic observations on a molecular level

Question 2

Important aspects of the KM theory

Answer 2

Motion of particles
Energy of particles
Spaces between particles
Forces of attraction

Question 3

Microscopic explanation of solids

Answer 3

Particles are arranged in a fixed position
Particles cant move and glide over each other
Little spaces between particles

Question 4

Microscopic explanation of liquids

Answer 4

Particles arent in a fixed position
Particles can move and glide over each other
Little spaces between the particles

Question 5

Microscopic explanation of gases

Answer 5

Particles can move easily
Particles can move past each other
Lots of spaces between particles

Question 6

Temperature

Answer 6

The measure of the average kinetic energy of particles

Question 7

KM theory explanation of solids

Answer 7

Small spaces between particles 
Low energy of particles 
Particles vibrate 
Very strong intermolecular forces 
Phase change

Question 8

KM theory explanation of liquids

Answer 8

Bigger spaces between particles but smaller compared to gases
More energy than solids but less than gases
Particles vibrate and rotate simultaneously
Weaker forces than solids but stronger than gases
Phase change

Question 9

KM theory explanation of gases

Answer 9

Very big spaces
High energy
Particles can move around
Weak to no forces between particles 
Phase change
