kinetic particle theory Flashcards
1
Q
what is solid (A, M, FOA & KE)
A
A: very closely packed & orderly arrangement
M: vibrate at fixed positions
FOA: very strong
KE: very low
2
Q
what is liquid (A, M, FOA & KE)
A
A: closely packed & disorderly arrangement
M: slide past one another
FOA: strong
KE: low
3
Q
what is gas (A, M, FOA & KE)
A
A: far apart & disorderly arrangement
M: move about randomly and rapidly in all directions
FOA: very weak
KE: high
4
Q
why does temp remain constant during melting/boiling point?
A
heat energy is absorbed to overcome FOA between particles
5
Q
what to write when qn type is “explain in terms of kinetic theory…”
A
movement and arrangement
