Particles Flashcards
1
Q
Solid
A
- regular pattern
- vibration in position
- little space between particles
2
Q
Liquid
A
- irregular pattern
- able to move past other particles
- little space between particles
3
Q
Gas
A
- no pattern
- able to move freely
- larger space between particles
4
Q
Brownian motion
A
-smaller particles collide with each other
-larger particles are moved
-larger particles have a random motion
Examples:
-smoke particles in air
-pollen in water
5
Q
Particle theory
A
Gases consist of very small particles which have a continuous random motion
6
Q
T and KE
A
The temperature of a gas (K) is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its particles
7
Q
Absolute zero
A
-273 degree Celsius
Particles have the least amount of KE possible
8
Q
Convert Celsius to Kelvins
A
+ 273
9
Q
T and p
A
Temperature is proportional to pressure
10
Q
pV
A
pV = K
-constant temperature
11
Q
pT
A
Constant
-constant volume
