Kinetic Molecular Theory 3B

Front

The movement of gas molecules is greatly affected by _________.

Back

temperature of the container

Front

What happens to matter as its temperature increases?

Back

The particles gain kinetic energy.

Front

Gas pressure is caused by ______.

Back

gas molecules colliding with surfaces of the container.

Front

The energy of motion is known as ___

Back

kinetic energy.

Front

The particles in a gas are ______ away from each other than the particles in a solid.

Back

farther.

Front

What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect gas pressure?

Back

Increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of gas molecules, leading to higher pressure.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature?

Back

As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles increases.

Front

What happens to gas molecules when they collide with the walls of a container?

Back

They exert pressure on the walls.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.
