1.1. Matter is composed of particles that are Matter is composed of particles that are in constant motionin constant motion

Why do we have this Theory?Why do we have this Theory?1.1. Helps us predictHelps us predict

1.1. Heat transferHeat transfer

2.2. PressurePressure

3.3. TemperatureTemperature

4.4. Properties of matterProperties of matter

MotionMotion

1.1. These particles have spaces in between These particles have spaces in between themthem

1.1. They move around in these spacesThey move around in these spaces

GasesGases

1.1. In gases, the spaces are far apartIn gases, the spaces are far apart

LiquidsLiquids

1.1. In liquids, the spaces are smallerIn liquids, the spaces are smaller1.1. Now there is a fixed volumeNow there is a fixed volume

SolidsSolids

1.1. Even in solids, the particles are movingEven in solids, the particles are moving1.1. Now there is a fixed shape, tooNow there is a fixed shape, too

Effects of EnergyEffects of Energy

1.1. If the temperature is raised, the particles If the temperature is raised, the particles move fastermove faster

1.1. And visa versaAnd visa versa

BasicallyBasically

1.1. The higher the temperature, the faster The higher the temperature, the faster the particles movethe particles move

1.1. The more thermal energy, the faster the The more thermal energy, the faster the particles moveparticles move

ConclusionConclusion

1.1. The Kinetic theory of MatterThe Kinetic theory of Matter1.1. Particles in matter are always movingParticles in matter are always moving

2.2. The higher the temperature, the faster they The higher the temperature, the faster they movemove
