Kinetic Theory of Matter

  • Molecules are always moving and have kinetic energy.

  • The state of the matter (solid, liquid, or gas) depends on the particles' kinetic energy, which increases with temperature, causing them to move faster and spread farther apart.

media

Solids

Molecules are very close together

Molecules vibrate (move) slowly

Matter has a definite shape and volume

4

media

Liquids

Molecules are loosely packed
together.

Molecules can flow and move with
greater speed than a solid.

Matter has a definite volume but NOT a definite shape

5

media

Gas

Molecules are far apart.

Molecules can move very quickly.

Matter has NO definite shape or volume

Changing States of Matter

Changes in states of matter between solids, liquids and gases occur when objects are heated and cooled.

A phase change diagram shows the relationship between temperature, heat energy and phase changes in matter.

Energy is added as you move from a SOLID to a GAS. It goes through the processes of melting and vaporization.

Energy is removed as you move from a GAS to a SOLID. It goes through the processes of condensation and freezing.
