Study Notes
- Matter is any substance that occupies physical space
- The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of tiny particles in constant motion
- There are three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases
- Solids have particles packed closely together and vibrate on the spot
- Liquids have particles that can move past one another and take up the shape of the container
- Gases have particles that are very far apart and can be compressed
- Evaporation is a change from liquid to gas
- Brownian motion is the erratic random movement of microscopic particles in a fluid
- Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
- The rate of diffusion can be affected by molecular mass
