Particle Arrangement In Matter Flashcards
() states that all matter is made up of particles that are in constant random motion, these particles are held together by attractive forces
Kinetic particle theory
Arranged in an orderly manner and closely packed
Solid
Held together by very strong attractive forces
Solid
Have very low kinetic energy, which limits their movement to vibrations and rotations about its fixed positions; and cannot move freely
Solid
arranged in a disorderly manner and less closely packed than solids
Liquids
Held together by weaker attractive forces than solid particles
Liquid
Have more kinetic energy than solid particles of the same substance; and can move freely
Liquid
Arranged in a disorderly manner and are very far apart
Gases
Held together by weaker attractive forces than liquid particles
Gases
Have high kinetic energy; and can move freely and rapidly in any direction
Gas
