Kinetic Theory of Particles
Kinetic Theory of Particles
Every substance is made of small particles which remain together using an intermolecular force of attraction. These molecules also have a kinetic force in them.
The attempt to prove the states of substances using the intermolecular force of attraction and the kinetic force of the particles is known as the kinetic theory of particles.
When the particles inside a substance remain in a very high force of attraction, they stay together and cannot move that much. This is solid-state. When heat is applied to such a solid substance, the particles start to vibrate.
When more heat is applied, the particles lose some of their force of attraction and they start some movement. This state of matter is called a liquid. Liquid takes the shape of the container without changing its volume.
When more heat is applied to this liquid state of the substance, the particles receive the heat, and the kinetic force in them is increased. This kinetic force is increased to a level where they lose the intermolecular force of attraction almost completely and start to move freely. This is the gaseous state. When more heat is applied to this state of the substance, the particles will only increase their speed of movement.
