lesson 1 Flashcards
explains the properties of gas, solids, and liquids in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of the individual particles.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
The Kinetic Molecular Theory states that:
- All matter is made of tiny particles. These particles are in constant motion.
- The speed of particles is proportional to temperature.
- Solids, liquids, and gases differ in distances between particles, freedom of motion of particles, and the extent to which the particles interact.
Fixed,
regardless of
size
And the shape
of the container
Solid
Fixed volume;
assumes
The shape of the
occupied part of
container.
Liquid
Assumes volume and shape of container
Gas
Almost
incompressible
Solid
Slightly
compressible but
cannot be easily
compressed.
Liquid
Easy to compress
Gas
Vibration in
place
Solid
Random,
medium speed,
limited
distances
Liquid
Random, fast, cover large distances
Gas
Liquids and
solids are in
___________states
compared to
gases
condensed
-closely packed ,
arranged in highly
organized order
-always in constant motion
-vibrating around
fixed locations
-held together by strong intermolecular forces
solid
-held together by
attractive intermolecular
forces
-With higher collision rate than gases
-close together with
little space between
molecules
-in constant motion, move/slide one past another freely so liquid can flow
Liquid
is any type of force that causes objects to come together, even if those objects are not close to or touching each other
force of attraction
