the kinetic theory of matter says that all matter is made of particles that are in constant motion.
Matter is made of constantly moving particles, which tells us how the matter in solids, liquids, and gases behaves.

How fast do things spread out in liquids compared to gases?
Gases spread out faster than liquids, and liquids spread out faster than solids. Gases, liquids, and solids are the three main phases of matter. A material moves to a different phase if its kinetic energy is changed enough (Kinetic energy is a measure of heat or temperature). For example, if you heat an ice cube (solid water), it will melt into water (liquid water). Gases have the highest kinetic energy. The molecules inside a gas are the fastest moving of the three phases. That means gas will spread out the fastest. Kinetic energy: Gas ---> Liquid ---> Solid [Decreasing] Solid ---> Liquid ---> Gas [Increasing]
Name 3 states of matter?
this are solids gases and liquids
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
Which state of matter cannot be compressed?
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
Kind of science that studies all forms of matter?
The study of matter (solids, liquids, and gasses) falls under the category of physical science.
How does kinetic theory of matter relate to solids liquids and gases?
the kinetic theory of matter says that all matter is made of particles that are in constant motion. Matter is made of constantly moving particles, which tells us how the matter in solids, liquids, and gases behaves.
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Does the kinetic theory of matter relate to solids liquids and gases?
Kinetics apply to all matter(or actually anything with mass), regardless of the state that matter is currently in. Think of it like this, a drop of water, and an ice cube are both dropped from the roof of a building. They are the same matter but in different states. Because they are both moving, both have kinetic energy regardless of being in different states.
What is the common denominator in solids liquids and gases?
The common denominator would be the kinetic energy of the particles making up the solids, liquids, and gases.
What are the variations of matter?
solids, liquids, and gases
What is the kinetic formula for solids liquids and gas?
K = 1\2 mv2
The greatest kinetic energy is found in gases liquids solids colloids?
Gases
How does the particle model relate to solids and liquids and gases?
They don't have anything incommom
What are the compositions of matter?
The 3 compositions of matter are liquids,gasses and solids.
