HONORS KMT & Matter

Front

What is the process called when a solid turns directly into a gas, such as dry ice?

Back

Sublimation

Front

Which container will have lower pressure?

Back

The left container has lower pressure.

Front

Describe the characteristics of solids in terms of particle arrangement.

Back

In solids, particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement, vibrate in place, and are held together by strong intermolecular forces.

Front

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT), what happens to the motion of particles when temperature increases?

Back

Increasing the temperature of particles will increase their motion.

Front

Which best describes the kinetic energy of particles in a gas?

Back

Particles in a gas have more energy than solids or liquids.

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Back

Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid at any temperature, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid at a specific temperature.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure is increased, according to Boyle's Law?

Back

The volume of a gas decreases when pressure is increased.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the speed of gas particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the speed of gas particles increases.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which a gas turns into a liquid.
