Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Matter consists of small
particles that always move and collide among each other.
- The kinetic theory of matter
stated the particles move freely when energy is absorb and move slowly when
energy is release, then they are cooled.
- The kinetic molecular theory
used to explain the change physical state of matter.
- Gas molecules are individual
particles that travel in a straight-line random motion. This will continue
until they collide or are acted upon by another force.
- Gas molecules continuously
collide and transfer energy during these collisions. In an isolated sample of gas
the net energy is conserved.
- The volume of the individual
gas molecules is negligible compared to the volume they occupy.
- No forces of attraction are
considered to exist between the gas molecules.
