[Chemistry] Chp 1 - Kinetic Particle Theory

Chemistry Matters.

Describe the movement and arrangement of particles in a solid.

The particles in a solid are;


1. vibrates about their fixed position (movement)
2. VERY closely packed together in an orderly manner (arrangement)

State the forces of attraction and kinetic energy of particles in a solid.

1) Very strong (forces of attraction)

2) Very low (kinetic energy)

Describe the movement and arrangement of particles in a liquid.

The particles in liquid are;

1) sliding past one another freely throughout the liquid (movement)

2) closely packed in a disorderly manner (arrangement)

State the forces of attraction and kinetic energy of particles in a liquid.

1) Strong (forces of attraction)

2) low (kinetic energy)

Describe the movement and arrangement of particles in a gas.

The particles in a gas are;

1) moving randomly in all directions at high speed (movement)

2) very far apart and arranged in a disorderly manner (arrangement)

State the forces of attraction and kinetic energy of particles in a gas.

1) very weak (forces of attraction)

2) High (kinetic energy)
