Kinetic molecular model

• The kinetic theory is the scientific explanation that explains how matter behaves at the atomic level.
• Solids have fixed shapes and volumes while liquids take up the shape of their container but still maintain a constant volume
• Matter can exist as solids, liquids or gases depending on its temperature and pressure
• Gas particles are far apart from one another with no definite shape or volume
• Solids have fixed shapes and volumes while liquids take up the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume
• Matter exists as solids, liquids, and gases depending on temperature and pressure
• Gases are neither solid nor liquid, they can be compressed into any shape or size without changing its volume
• Gas particles are far apart from one another so they move freely with no restrictions
• Liquid particles are close together but not touching each other so they vibrate around each other
• Particles move faster in hotter substances than cooler ones
• Solid particles are packed tightly together with little space between them and they do not change shape unless forced by an external force
• Liquid particles are close together with some space between them and they retain their shape when confined to a container
• Molecular Model
• Particles that are constantly in motion
• The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is related to its temperature
• There is space between particles
• The amount of space in between particles is related to the substance's state of matter
• These changes happen when the temperature of the substance changes sufficiently
• Condensed states (Liquid & Solid) are quite different compared to gases
• Particles in condensed states (Liquid & Solid) are close together that there is very little empty space
• Particles in condensed states (Liquid & Solid) can only move past one another in a limited way, unlike gases which can move freely
• Particles in solids are held rigidly in fixed positions with virtually no freedom of motion
• Solids possess definite shape, definite volume and that appears or white crystalline
