Kinnetic Molecular Theory Flashcards
1
Q
Kinetic molecular theory explains how
A
Gases behave
2
Q
Kinetic molecular theory is theory that gases consist of
A
Molecules in constant random motion
3
Q
Principles that comprise kinetic molecular theory
A
Ideal gases
4
Q
- Gases are made of particles that
A
Remain in a state of constant random motion
5
Q
- Gas particles don’t have any (2)
A
Attraction
Repulsion
(Intermolecular forces)
6
Q
- And will move continuously in straight line until
A
Collide with another particle or side of container
7
Q
- Gas particles are extremely
A
Small
8
Q
- Smaller than the space between them which is why
A
Gas mostly empty space
9
Q
- Average _ of gas depends on temp of gas and nothing else
A
Kinetic energy
10
Q
- Collisions between particles are
A
Elastic
11
Q
- Elastic collision means they do not _ from one particle to another
A
Transfer energy
12
Q
- Elastic collision means energy not transferred from one particle to another and
A
No energy lost
13
Q
Kinetic energy is energy of
A
Movement
14
Q
_ is the stored energy an object has because of its position relative to other objects
A
Potential energy
15
