Kinetic Particle Theory Chapter 2

Question 1

What is kinetic particle theory?

Answer 1

The kinetic particle theory states that all matter is made up of tiny particles and these particles are in constant random motion.

Question 2

What is sublimation ?

Answer 2

Sublimation is a process by which a solid changes directly into a gas.

Question 3

What is Vapour depositing

Answer 3

Vapour deposition is when gas cools down and eventually become a solid.

Question 4

What is the arrangement of a solid, a liquid and a gas?

Answer 4

Solid: very closely packed in an orderly manner.
Liquid: slightly less closely packed than a solid, irregular pattern
Gas: very far apart in a disorderly manner.

Question 5

What are the particle movement for solids, liquids and gas?

Answer 5

Solids: vibrate and rotate upon their fixed shape.
Liquids: Slide pasts one another freely.
Gases: move quickly and randomly motion.

Question 6

What are the forces of attraction in solids,liquids and gases?

Answer 6

Solids: very strong
Liquid: less strong
Gas: very weak

Question 7

What are the kinetic energy of a particle of solids, liquid and gas?

Answer 7

Solids: very low
Liquids: low
Gas: very high

Question 8

What is transition temperature?

Answer 8

It is melting,freezing and boiling point.
