Kinectic Theory Flashcards
1
Q
explain the kinetic theory of a solid
A
Strong forces of attraction Particles close together Fixed regular shape Particles don't have much energy Only vibrate in there fixed positions
2
Q
Explain the kinetic theory of liquids
A
Weaker forces of attraction between particle Particles are close together Can move past each other Irregular arrangements More energy than a solid Random directions at low speed
3
Q
Explain the kinetic theory of gases
A
Almost no forces of attraction between the particles
Particles have more energy than those in liquids and solids
Free to move
Travel in random directions in high speeds
4
Q
If you heat a substance what happened to the partials?
A
More kinetic energy
They vibrate or move faster
5
Q
What is kinetic theory?
A
It describes how partitas move in solids liquids and gases
