350 K

Front

Adding thermal energy to matter causes its particles to _________________.

Back

move faster

Front

What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

Back

A theory that explains the behavior of particles in gases, stating that they are in constant motion and that their energy is related to temperature.

Front

What happens to gas particles when temperature increases?

Back

They move faster.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

A principle that describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

A principle that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.
