The 3 Basic Assumptions of the Kinetic Theory:
The 3 Basic Assumptions of the Kinetic Theory A ll matter is composed of small particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) T hese small particles are in constant motion A ll collisions between particles are perfectly elastic . - there is no change in total Kinetic Energy of two particles before and after their collision
States of Matter Gases:
States of Matter Gases Independent, straight-line motion Change direction only following collisions Gas molecules travel in a random manner Gases assume the shape and volume of their container. G Gas
States of Matter Liquid:
States of Matter Liquid Restricted particle motion Particles vibrate and slip past one another Liquids have a definite volume , but assume the shape of their container L Liquid
States of Matter Solids:
States of Matter Solids Highly restricted particle motion Particles vibrate around a fixed point Particles arranged in a definite pattern Solids have a definite volume and a definite shape S Solid
