Day 1Kinetic Theory of Matter
SC Standards CoveredStandard PS-3.6
Compare the properties of the four states of matter—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—in terms of the arrangement and movement of particles.
Kinetic Theory of Matter
Explains how particles in matter behave:All matter is composed of small
particles.Particles are in constant, random
motion.Particles collide with each other and
the walls of their container.
Understanding Temperature:• Thermal Energy
The total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
Causes the particles to be in motion
• Average Kinetic EnergyTemperature of the substance, or
how fast the particles are moving; the lower the temperature, the slower the particle motion
Absolute Zero
The 3 States of Matter
Kinetic Theory of a Solid
• Solid State– Particles are closely packed together in a
specific type of geometric pattern (crystal).– Particles vibrate in place.– Cannot be squeezed, volume does not
change.
Kinetic Theory of a Liquid
• Liquid State– Particles with enough
energy to push other particles out of the way and move over and around each other.
– Cannot be squeezed, volume does not change.
– Particles flow; take the shape of their container.
Kinetic Theory of a Gas
• Gaseous State– Particles with enough
energy to escape from one another and spread out in all directions.
– Particles CAN be squeezed together; volume changes with changes in pressure.
– Particles flow, take the shape and volume of their container.
– Diffusion
Kinetic Theory of a Plasma
• Plasma State– The most common state of matter in the
universe; found in the stars, lightning bolts, auroras, neon and fluorescent lights.
– Particles break apart to form a positively and negatively charged gas-like mixture.
