Front

What are the basic concepts of particles and particle motion in Kinetic Molecular Theory?

Back

There are 3 basic concepts.

Front

All matter is made up of________

Back

particles.

Front

Which state of matter has the FASTEST moving particles?

Back

Gas.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance as particles slow down?

Back

It decreases.

Front

As particles move faster, what happens to the temperature (average kinetic energy) of the substance?

Back

It increases.

Front

What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and particle motion?

Back

Higher temperature means faster particle motion.

Front

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

Back

Particles in a gas are much farther apart than in a solid.

Front

What is the effect of pressure on gas particles?

Back

Increasing pressure compresses gas particles closer together.

Front

How do particles behave in a solid state?

Back

Particles vibrate in fixed positions.
