Particle Theory Flashcards
all matter is made up of _____
Particles
the particle theory explains the properties of the three states of matter
what are the three states of matter?
solid liquid and gas
what does the particle theory explain about the states of matter
the particle theory can also explain about the changes of the states of matter
- solid - liquid
- liquid - gas
- gas - liquid
- liquid - solid
- melting
- boiling
- condensation
- Freezing
why does diffusion happen
diffusion happens because particles move about randomly.
why does diffusion happen more quickly in gasses than in liquids ?
because gas particles move more freely than liquid particles
how can the rate of diffusion be affected
Temperature concentration and size of particle
how can the rate of diffusion be affected
Temperature concentration and size of particle
what is brownian motiom and how is it caused
brownian motion was discovered when you can see pollen n grains and dust moving about randomly. it is caused when timny particles bump into things
how is gas pressure made
when gas particles are contained in small spaces and bump into the walls
why does gas pressure become more intense wand faster when heat is added
Because heat gives the particles energy which makes them move faster which applies more pressure
