How are the particles arranged in a solid?

Back

Closely arranged and vibrate in fixed positions.

Front

If an object has particles that are moving very slowly, what can be inferred about its temperature?

Back

The object's temperature is probably cold.

Front

What is the kinetic theory of matter?

Back

The kinetic theory states that all matter is made up of particles that are in constant motion.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases.

What is the state of matter characterized by particles that are far apart and move freely?

Back

Gas.

Front

In which state of matter do particles have a definite shape and volume?

Back

Solid.

Front

What occurs to the arrangement of particles when a solid is heated?

Back

The particles gain energy and may begin to move more freely, potentially transitioning to a liquid state.
