The kinetic theory describes the __1__ of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly __2__, that the particles of gas are relatively __3__, move __4__ of each other, and are in constant __5__ motion. The __6__ between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total __7__ remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure __8__ pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of __9__ and a pressure of __10__.

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.
