According to the particle theory of matter, what happens to the movement of particles as temperature decreases?
According to the particle theory of matter, what happens to the movement of particles as temperature decreases?
- Particles slow down and their kinetic energy decreases. (correct)
- Particles stop moving entirely and become stationary.
- Particles move faster due to increased energy input.
- Particles maintain a constant speed regardless of temperature.
Which statement is NOT a component of the particle theory of matter?
Which statement is NOT a component of the particle theory of matter?
- Particles expand in size when heated. (correct)
- All matter is composed of tiny particles.
- There are spaces between the particles in matter.
- Particles of matter are in constant motion.
If two substances have different attractive forces between their particles, how will this affect their physical properties?
If two substances have different attractive forces between their particles, how will this affect their physical properties?
- The substance with weaker attraction will likely have a higher melting and boiling point.
- The substance with stronger attraction will likely have a higher melting and boiling point. (correct)
- It will not affect their physical properties because particle attraction is negligible.
- Both substances will exhibit identical physical properties regardless of attractive forces.
