Question

Describe what matter is composed of using your knowledge of the Kinetic Theory of Matter

Answer 1

Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving.

The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases.

There are attractive forces between atoms/molecules, and these become stronger as the particles move closer together. These attractive forces are called intermolecular forces.
