Study Notes
Matter and Particle Theory
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
- The particle theory of matter (kinetic molecular theory) explains the behavior of atoms or molecules and their interactions in different phases (solid, liquid, gas) and transitions between them.
Activity 1 (Identify Matter)
