Kinetic+Molecular+Theory+Questions

You may wish to answer the following questions in Microsoft Word and then paste in any drawings that you make later. (you may also find images through google that would also work) 1. What is a scientific model? 2. List the four postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. 3. Draw a diagram of a solid at the particle level and briefly describe your diagram. 4. If particles of a solid are in constant motion, explain why they stay relatively close together. 5. Describe the solid at the particle level when the temperature is increased. 6. Explain how a solid becomes a liquid and what the name for this process is. What is the name for the process when a liquid becomes a solid? 7. Draw a diagram of a liquid at the particle level and briefly describe your diagram. 8. Explain how a liquid becomes a gas and what the name for this process is. 9. Draw a diagram of a gas at the particle level and briefly describe your diagram. 10. Explain how particles move within a gaseous substance.
