Properties of states of matter

• The more the kinetic energy in a gas, the faster it’s particles move and therefore the gas is at a higher temperature.
• The pressure gases exert on a container is due to the particles colliding on the container walls.
• The greater the kinetic energy in gasses the faster they move and the more often they collide on the container’s walls
• If the volume is constant, then increasing the temperature will increase the pressure.
• If there is a change in momentum of the particles, the kinetic energy decreases, decreasing the collisions on the container walls and thus the pressure.
