Questions and Answers

According to the kinetic molecular theory of liquids and solids, what is the relationship between the speed of particles and temperature?

  • The speed of particles is determined by pressure.
  • The speed of particles is not affected by temperature.
  • The speed of particles is inversely proportional to temperature.
  • The speed of particles is directly proportional to temperature. (correct)

    • What is the fundamental difference between states of matter?

  • The pressure exerted by the particles.
  • The distance between particles. (correct)
  • The kinetic energy of the particles.
  • The strength of the attractions between particles.

    • Why are solids and liquids referred to as condensed phases?

  • Because the particles are closer together than in gases. (correct)
  • Because they have a lower temperature than gases.
  • Because they are in a more stable state than gases.
  • Because they have a higher density than gases.

    Study Notes

    Kinetic Molecular Theory

    • As temperature increases, the speed of particles also increases, resulting in greater kinetic energy.
    • This theory explains the behavior of particles in liquids and solids.

    States of Matter

    • The fundamental difference between states of matter is the arrangement and motion of particles.
    • Solids have particles that are closely packed and vibrate in place, while liquids have particles that are close together but are able to slide past each other.

    Condensed Phases

    • Solids and liquids are referred to as condensed phases because the particles are close together, resulting in a fixed volume and shape.
    • In contrast, gases have particles that are widely spaced and have neither a fixed volume nor shape.

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are the attractive and repulsive forces between molecules.
    • These forces are responsible for the physical properties of substances, such as melting and boiling points.

    Molecular Attractions

    • Intermolecular attractions are weaker than intramolecular attractions, which are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule.
    • Despite being weaker, intermolecular attractions play a crucial role in determining the physical properties of substances.
