Kinetic Molecular Theory

Front

What happens to matter as its temperature increases?

Back

The particles gain kinetic energy.

Front

These properties describe a ___ (solid, liquid, gas).

Back

solid.

Front

Which statement is true about gases?

Back

Most of the volume of gas is empty space.

Front

Of these three states of matter, which one has the most kinetic energy? (Solid, Liquid, Gas)

Back

Gas.

Front

What causes gas pressure?

Back

Gas molecules colliding with surfaces of the container.

Front

Define Kinetic Molecular Theory.

Back

A theory that explains the behavior of gases in terms of particles in constant motion.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

Describe the motion of particles in a solid.

Back

Particles in a solid vibrate in fixed positions and do not move freely.

Front

How do gas particles behave in a container?

Back

Gas particles move freely and fill the entire volume of the container.

Front

What happens to the distance between particles in a gas compared to a solid?

Back

Gas particles are much farther apart than solid particles.
