1. Kinetic Theory

2. Kinetic Theory
“Kinetic” refers to movement

3. Kinetic Theory “Kinetic” refers to movement
“Theory,” a unifying idea that is useful for understanding a wide variety of observations

4. Kinetic Theory
The kinetic theory states that submicroscopic particles of all matter are in constant, random motion.
The Kinetic Theory is a unifying concept that uses the idea of moving particles to explain gases, liquids, solids, phase changes and the effect of temperature and pressure on these.

5. Kinetic Theory
3 Assumptions necessary to use the theory:

6. Kinetic Theory 3 Assumptions necessary to use the theory:
All matter is made of particles (atoms, ions or molecules)

7. Kinetic Theory 3 Assumptions necessary to use the theory:
All matter is made of particles (atoms, ions or molecules)
The particles of matter are in constant motion

8. Kinetic Theory 3 Assumptions necessary to use the theory:
All matter is made of particles (atoms, ions or molecules)
The particles of matter are in constant motion
All collisions are perfectly elastic (no energy is lost)

9. Solid

10. Solid
Solids have their own shape and volume regardless of their containers.

11. Solid
Solids have their own shape and volume regardless of their containers.
The particles in a solid vibrate but don’t have enough energy to move past one another

12. Solid
Solids have their own shape and volume regardless of their containers.
The particles in a solid vibrate but don’t have enough energy to move past one another
But, if you heat a solid (giving it more energy) it will ____________ and become a ….

13. Liquid

14. Liquid
The particles in a liquid have enough energy to flow past one another, and thus take the shape of whatever container they are in.

15. Liquid
The particles in a liquid have enough energy to flow past one another, and thus take the shape of whatever container they are in.
But they don’t have enough energy to break the attractive forces between them so they remain in contact and maintain their own volume.

16. Liquid
The particles in a liquid have enough energy to flow past one another, and thus take the shape of whatever container they are in.
But they don’t have enough energy to break the attractive forces between them so they remain in contact and maintain their own volume.
If you heat a liquid (giving it more energy) it will __________, and become a …

17. Gas

18. Gas
The particles of a gas have enough energy to overwhelm any attractive forces between them. If they collide, they bounce off without losing energy.

19. Gas
The particles of a gas have enough energy to overwhelm any attractive forces between them. If they collide, they bounce off without losing energy.
Gases take the shape and volume of their containers.

20. Gas
The particles of a gas have enough energy to overwhelm any attractive forces between them. If they collide, they bounce off without losing energy.
Gases take the shape and volume of their containers.
If you cool a gas, it __________ and becomes a …

21. Liquid
If you cool a liquid, the particles will lose energy and will __________ to become a …

22. Solid
If you cool a solid, it will lose energy and vibrate more and more slowly until a temperature is reached at which no movement occurs.

23. Solid
If you cool a solid, it will lose energy and vibrate more and more slowly until a temperature is reached at which no movement occurs.
This temperature is called ABSOLUTE ZERO, and is theoretically the coldest possible temperature.

24. Temperature
We will soon be defining temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance.
