Particle/Kinetic theory model

Cards (8)

  • The kinetic theory is the idea that gas is made from tiny particles that are in constant, random, motion.
  • Particles in gas, in the kinetic theory, are widely spread.
  • Particles in gas, in the kinetic theory, move in straight lines in-between collisions.
  • In gases, pressure is created by the gas particles colliding
    with the inside surface of the container.
  • When the temperature of a gas is increased, the pressure also increases.
  • gases have alot of energy
  • Gases move about very quickly
  • Unlike solids and liquids, gases can be easily compressed
