The Kinetic Theory Of Matter

this is a model that helps us imagine how the matter is arranged and how it behaves and how this arrangement relates to the properties of the three states of mattermain point of the theory are


  • All matter is made up of very tiny particles , which can not be seen by the naked eye.
Different substances are available as different types of particles (atoms , molecules or ions).
  • The Particles move all the time
the higher the temperature the faster they move on average
  • Heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at a ny given temperature
