• Kinetic molecular theory: allows us to explain the existence of the three phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
• Kinetic energy: energy that objects possess due to their motion
• Kinetic molecular theory: explains the states of matter, and is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in motion.
• Kinetic energy: energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object or subatomic particle
• Particles move in a straight line until they collide with another particles
• Particles are much smaller than the distance between particles
• Gay Lussac's Law: emphasizes how temperature influences states of matter
• Brownian motion: random movement of particulate matter causes collisions with air molecules
• Gases: composed of large number of particles that behave like hard, sphreical objects in a state of constant, random motion
• Temperature: affects that rate of the reaction because as it increases so does the ave kinetic energy
• Kinetic molecular theory: states that the ave kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to temperature
