Kinetic Model of Matter

Using the particle model to explain the states of matter and Brownian motion.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the kinetic model explain the relationship between temperature and molecular speed?
  2. 2What variables affect the rate of diffusion in different states of matter?
  3. 3How would an engineer use the kinetic theory to predict gas behavior under high pressure?
