Kinetic Molecular Theory

Front

What causes gas pressure?

Back

Gas pressure is caused by gas molecules colliding with surfaces.

Front

What happens at absolute zero?

Back

At absolute zero, particles stop moving.

Front

How do gas particles move at high temperatures?

Back

Gas particles move around at high speeds.

Front

What is the process of a gas turning into a liquid called?

Back

The process of a gas turning into a liquid is called condensation.

Front

Which line shows a gas getting hotter?

Back

Line E shows a gas getting hotter.

Front

Define Kinetic Molecular Theory.

Back

Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the behavior of gases in terms of particles in motion.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in gases?

Back

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

Front

What happens to gas volume when pressure increases?

Back

When pressure increases, the volume of a gas decreases (Boyle's Law).

Front

What is sublimation?

Back

Sublimation is the process where a solid turns directly into a gas without becoming a liquid.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid turns into gas at temperatures below boiling point.
