5
Q
matter
A
anything that has mass and takes up space. the three forms of matter are solid, liquid and gas
6
Q
the kinetic theory of matter
A
this is the idea that all substances consist of tiny particles. This describes the states and the energy charge between them in terms the movement of particles.
7
Q
the main points of the kinetic theory
A
- all matter is mad up of very small particles called atoms/molecules
- the particles are moving all the time
