10 Questions
What happens to the speed of atoms/molecules when a substance is heated?
The speed of atoms/molecules increases
What happens to the volume of a substance when it is cooled?
The volume decreases
What is the relationship between the speed of atoms/molecules and temperature?
The faster the atoms/molecules move, the higher the temperature
What happens to the strength and frequency of collisions between atoms/molecules when a substance is warmed?
The collisions become stronger and more frequent
Do the atoms/molecules themselves expand or shrink when a substance is heated or cooled?
No, the atoms/molecules do not expand or shrink, only the volume of the substance changes
What is the primary focus of the kinetic theory of gases?
Modeling the behavior of gases in motion
Which type of gases are most applicable to the kinetic theory of gases?
Ideal gases following gas laws
What does the kinetic theory of gases assume about gas particles?
They are point masses with no volume.
In what fields can the principles of the kinetic theory of gases be applied?
Fluid dynamics and aerodynamics
What is one limitation of the kinetic theory of gases?
It may not accurately predict gas behavior in all situations.
