Kinetic Molecular Theory

Question 1

is a principle/idea/model that is used to explain the behavior, movement of particles/molecules for every states of matter from a microscopic point of view.

Answer 1

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Question 2

This theory explains the states of matter, and is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in motion. This theory helps explain observable properties and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases

Answer 2

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Question 3

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that:

Answer 3

1. Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving.
2. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in.
3. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
4. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.
5. There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases.
6. There are attractive forces between atoms/molecules, and these become stronger as the particles move closer together. These attractive forces are called intermolecular forces.
