What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

Back

A theory that explains the behavior of gases in terms of particles in motion.

Front

How do particles behave in a solid state?

Back

Particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

Front

How do particles behave in a liquid state?

Back

Particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing liquids to flow.

Front

How do particles behave in a gas state?

Back

Particles are far apart and move freely, filling the container they are in.
