Matter is anything that has mass and can take up space.The Particle Theory of Matter:1. Matter is made up of tiny particles (Atoms & Molecules)2. Particles of Matter are in constant motion.3. Particles of Matter are held together by very strong electric forces4. There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles themselves.5. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances6. Temperature affects the speed of the particles. The higher the temperature, the faster the speed of the particles
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.
The Particle Theory has 4 laws:1) All matter is composed of particles2) These particles have spaces between them3) These particles are always moving4) Particles are attracted to each otherThe theory is used to explain how every day things work. For example dissolving can be explained as the particles are simply rearranging themselves to fit between other particles.*Note the word theory in the title, it is there for a reason. This is purely hypothetical and has not been proven... yet.*Also particles have also been referred to as molecules.
kinetic theory.
According to the kinetic theory, the particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume, and all the collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic.
kinetic theory
This model represents matter and its component particles as separate little balls or particles of matter. A useful enough model where chemical and nuclear inter-reactions may be ignored.
When heat is supplied to a solid, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, they move away from each other
Moving particles
The particle theory of matter states that matter is made up of very small particles that are always in constant motion.
