KMT 1
This theory explains the behavior of particles in matter.
KMT
In this state, particles spread out to fill the shape of their container.
Ice cubes stay in a fixed shape because particles in a solid can only do this.
vibrate in place.
This state of matter flows easily because its particles can slide past one another.
What is liquid
Gas particles can move freely because they are far apart and have ___________amount of attraction to each other.
Negligible/zero
KMT states that all matter is made up of
Particles
When particles move from a liquid state to a gas state, this process occurs.
A drop of food coloring spreads in water because of this KMT principle.
You smell fresh cookies baking in the kitchen because of this particle behavior.
dIFFUSION
When a basketball is left outside in winter, it feels deflated because of this particle behavior.
particles slow down and exert less pressure
According to KMT, particles are always doing this, no matter the state of matter
Moving
In this process, particles move from a gas state to a liquid state.
The state of matter where particles are packed closely together but can still vibrate
Solid
When you smell perfume from across the room, this principle of KMT is at work.
dIFFUSION
Ice cream melts on a hot day because heat energy ________________ particles
increases the movement of particles.
When temperature increases, the particles in a substance do this.
move faster
In this process, particles move from a gas state to a solid state.
Desposition
Why does railway tracks expands when heated
Energy causes them to vibrate more and move farther apart
Frost forms on a window in winter because water vapor particles in the air
lose energy and freeze (deposit)
A pressure cooker cooks food faster because the high pressure inside causes particles to do this.
Particles collide more frequently and transfer heat faster as a result food is cooked faster.
This happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases, assuming temperature stays constant.
Decreases
The term for when particles move directly from a solid to a gas.
When heated, a balloon expands because gas particles do this.
move faster and spread out
A tire feels flat on a cold day because gas particles do this when cooled.
move slower and contract.
When you heat a thermometer, the liquid inside rises because the liquid particles
move faster and spread out
