Kinetic Molecular Theory

Cards (5)

  • Kinetic Molecular Theory states that matter is composed of atoms that are always in constant, random motion.
  • Phase refers to a distinct form of matter that has uniform physical and chemical properties throughout.
  • Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the states of matter.
  • Phase
    • It refers to a distinct form of matter that has uniform physical and chemical properties throughout.
    • These properties include characteristics such as density, viscosity, and compressibility.
    • In particular, phases can refer to solids, liquids, and gases.
  • The phase of matter depends on its intermolecular forces.
