Question

State characteristics of gases on the basis of kinetic theory of matter.

Answer 1

The following are the 3 basic principles of the kinetic theory of matter:

• The determination of the substance as solid, liquid, or gas is dependent on the energy possessed by the particles in the substances. This energy is dependent on temperature.
• The temperature of the substance is defined as the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
• There are spaces between the particles of the matter. These spaces between the particles increases as the matter change from solid to liquid to gas.
