kinetic particle theory

• • kinetic particle theory states that all matter is made up of tiny particles and these particles are in constant random motion
• • solid particle arrangement very closely packed in an orderly manner
• • solid particle movement vibrate and rotate about fixed position
• solid's attractive forces between particles is very strong
• solid's particle energy is very low
• solid's shape is definite
• solid's volume is definte
• • liquid particle arrangement is closely packed in a disorderly manner
• • liquid particle movement slide past one another freely throughout the liquid
• liquid attractive force between particle is less strong
• liquid's kinetic energy is low
• solid's kinetic energy is very low
• liquid's shape is indefinite
• liquid's volume is definite
• • gas particle arrangement very far apart a disorderly manner
• • gas particle movement move quickly and randomly in any direction
• gas attractive force between particles is very weak
• gas kinetic energy is high
• gas shape is indefinite
• gas volume is indefinite
