Q

describe the particles of a liquid

A

particles of a liquid are farther apart and can slip and slide past each other

17
Q

describe the particles of a gas

A

particles of a gas are very far apart and move around freely and quickly

18
Q

what are the main points of the kinetic molecular theory?

A
  • all matter is made up of very small particles
  • there is empty space between particles
  • particles are constantly moving. In liquids and gases, the particles are colliding with each other
  • energy makes particles move
