KMT and Heat Transfer Practice Flashcard

Front

What happens to the temperature as the kinetic energy of molecules decreases?

Back

The temperature decreases.

Front

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, how do molecules in a solid behave?

Back

Molecules are very close to each other due to attraction of charge and have an ordered arrangement.

Front

What is the energy of motion known as?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What does temperature measure?

Back

The average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.

Front

What describes a solid?

Back

Molecules are very close to each other and have an ordered arrangement.

Front

What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of molecules in a gas as temperature increases?

Back

The kinetic energy of molecules increases.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance.

Front

How do molecules in a liquid behave?

Back

Molecules flow or glide over each other.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

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