New cards

What does the KMT include that the Particle Model doesn’t?

How matter behaves when the kinetic energy of the particles change.

2
New cards

What is kinetic energy?

The energy of motion

3
New cards

What does the KMT explain?

  1. What happens to matter when the kinetic energy of particles changes.

  2. The difference between solids, liquids, and gases.

4
New cards

What is the 1st part of the KMT?

All matter is made up of very small particles.

5
New cards

What is the 2nd part of the KMT?

There is empty space between particles.

6
New cards

What is the 3rd part of the KMT?

Particles are constantly moving. In liquids and gases, they are colliding with each other and with the walls of their container.

7
New cards

What is the 4th part of the KMT?

Energy makes particles move.

8
New cards

How do particles of a solid move?

They are so tightly packed together they can only vibrate.

9
New cards

How do particles of a liquid move?

They can move by sliding past eachother because they are farther apart.

10
New cards

How do particles of a gas move?

They move around quickly by bouncing off each other or the walls because they are very far apart.

11
New cards

Particles in __________________ objects have _________________ kinetic energy, and their particles simply vibrate back and forth.

69
New cards

The four main points of the Particle Model of Matter are:

  2. There are spaces between the particles, and the amount of space depends on the state of matter

  3. These particles are always moving

  4. The particles are attracted to one another. This attraction depends on the type of particle.
