Phases of Matter Flashcards
The word kinetic means
moving
_____ is the energy an object as due to its motion
kinetic energy
the volume of a gas particle is so small it is considered to be
neglible
the _______ states that all particles of matter are in constant motion
kinetic theory of matter
the motion of as particles can be described by the term
random or chaotic
when collisions are _____ no kinetic energy is lost from the impact
elastic
gas ______ is due to the collision of gas particles with each other and their container
pressure
a region of empty space is called a
vacuum
the gas pressure in a vacuum is equal to
zero
a _____ is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure
barometer
as altitude increase, atmospheric pressure
decreases
when the temperature of substance is increased, its average kinetic energy
increases
the T at which the motion of all particles would theoretically stop is called _______
absolute zero
is it possible to attain absolute zero?
no
when the kinetic energy _____ so does the temperature
increases
