    Study Notes

    Particle Theory of Matter

    • Explains the behavior of particles in various states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Asserts that particles are in constant motion regardless of their state.

    Movement and Speed

    • The velocity of particle movement fluctuates based on the state of matter.
    • In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions with minimal movement.
    • In liquids, particles are more mobile, sliding past one another while remaining close together.
    • In gases, particles move freely and rapidly, resulting in greater distances between them.
