What is the Partical theory of Matter??
Answers
Answer:
The kinetic theory of matter (particle theory) says that all matter consists of many, very small particles which are constantly moving or in a continual state of motion. The degree to which the particles move is determined by the amount of energy they have and their relationship to other particles

kinetic theory of matter (particle theory) says that all matter consists of many, very small particles which are constantly moving or in a continual state of motion. The degree to which the particles move is determined by the amount of energy they have and their relationship to other particles. The particles might be atoms, molecules or ions. Use of the general term 'particle' means the precise nature of the particles does not have to be specified.
Particle theory helps to explain properties and behaviour of materials by providing a model which enables us to visualise what is happening on a very small scale inside those materials. As a model it is useful because it appears to explain many phenomena but as with all models it does have limitations.
Solids, liquids and gases
n solids the particles
n liquids the particles
In gases the particles
are held tightly and packed fairly close together - they are strongly attracted to each other
o are in fixed positions but they do vibrate
are fairly close together with some attraction between them
are able to move around in all directions but movement is limited by attractions between particles
have little attraction between them
are free to move in all directions and collide with each other and with the walls of a container and are widely
