Kinetic Model of Matter

Which describes the arrangement of particles in a solid?

• very far apart and randomly arranged

• closely packed together and randomly arranged

• closely packed together in a regular pattern

Which of the following properties cannot be explained by the kinetic theory of particles?

• Density

• Compressibility

• Shape

• Colour

In a liquid...

• particles are spread out and move randomly

• particles are tightly packed in a regular structure

• particles are tightly packed but free to move past each other

In a gas...

• particles are spread out and move randomly

• particles are tightly packed in a regular structure

• particles are tightly packed but free to move past each other

Changing the state of a material will change its density

• True

• False
