Particle motion → observable gas properties
1. What does kinetic theory use to explain the similar observable behavior of gases?
2. Which statement best describes an ideal gas?
3. What distinguishes a phase change from a chemical change?
What does the kinetic theory of gases explain?
The similar behavior of gases by relating properties to particle motion and kinetic energy.
What defines an ideal gas in terms of particle volume?
Its particles occupy negligible volume.
What forces do particles of an ideal gas exert on each other?
No attractive forces.
What defines a phase change in a substance?
A physical transformation changing appearance or phase without changing nature.
Which four phases of matter are discussed?
Solid, liquid, gaseous, and plasma.
What particle movement occurs in all phases of matter?
Vibration.
