    Study Notes

    Kinetic Theory of Matter

    • The particle model of matter underpins every observation and experiment, highlighting the constant movement of particles.
    • Kinetic energy relates to the energy of moving objects; particles possess kinetic energy proportional to their speed.
    • The kinetic theory of matter explains the behavior and properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on particle movement.

    Particle Energy in Different States

    • In solids, particles vibrate but do not move freely, resulting in low kinetic energy (similar to people sitting quietly).
    • In liquids, particles jostle and have more kinetic energy due to increased movement (similar to people moving in a crowd).
    • In gases, particles move rapidly and independently, possessing the highest kinetic energy (similar to people running).

    Mass and Density

    • Mass, measured in kilograms, reflects the amount of matter in a substance and varies with the number and mass of particles.
    • A specific volume of solid or liquid is denser than the same volume of gas due to a higher number of particles being packed into the solid or liquid state.
    • For example, a container with liquid nitrogen is heavier than the same-sized container of nitrogen gas because liquid nitrogen has more particles.

    Diffusion

    • Diffusion describes the process where particles spread from an area of high concentration to low concentration, evident when uncapping a perfume bottle or tea bag in hot water.
    • The rate of diffusion is fastest in gases due to free movement and ample space between particles.
    • In liquids, diffusion is slower; particles are in close contact and collide frequently, limiting their movement.
    • Solids do not undergo diffusion as particles are fixed in place and vibrate without changing positions.
