Study Notes
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, matter is composed of tiny particles with definite and characteristic sizes, which is related to the postulate that matter is composed of tiny particles.
Organization of Matter
- In solids, particles are closely packed and have a fixed position, while in liquids, particles are close together but are free to slide past each other.
Basis of Kinetic Molecular Theory
- The Kinetic Molecular Theory is based on the motion of particles and their interactions.
Phases of Matter
- The phase of matter that has indefinite shape and volume is a gas.
- In the context of chemistry and physics, the term 'phase' typically refers to a distinct state of matter, such as solid, liquid, or gas.
Energy of Particles
- Particles possess kinetic energy due to their constant random motion, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
- Potential energy is the energy an object or particle has due to its position or configuration.
Temperature and Particles
- An increase in temperature causes particles in a system to gain kinetic energy and move faster.
Origin of Potential Energy
- The interaction ultimately responsible for the origin of potential energy between particles is the attractive and repulsive forces between them.
Thermal Expansion
- When heat is applied, the volume of gases increases, and liquids expand more than solids due to the greater freedom of motion of their particles.
- Thermal expansion is the increase in volume of a substance in response to an increase in temperature.
Collisions
- In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
Composition of Matter
- The Kinetic Molecular Theory proposes that all matter is composed of tiny particles that are in constant motion.
