    The kinetic molecular theory states that gas particles are in constant random motion and have the highest kinetic energy of the three states of matter. It explains the lower density, compressibility, and ability of gases to mix and spread out by the large distances and fast motion of their particles. The theory models gases as having no interparticle forces and transferring no energy during collisions.

    Kinetic Molecular Theory Worksheet

    1. The word kinetic comes from a Greek word that means “to move.” The kinetic molecular theory is
    based upon the assumption that particles of matter (atoms or molecules) are in constant random
    motion.
    2. Of the three states of matter, which one has
    the most kinetic energy? Gas
    3. Which state of matter has particles that are
    separated by the largest distance? Gas

    4. A scientific theory is an explanation of some type of natural phenomena. Theories are


    normally developed from careful study of the way the world behaves. Let’s look at how gases
    behave and see if the kinetic molecular theory makes sense.
    5. Compared to liquids and solids, gases tend to have lower densities. This can be explained
    because the particles of gas are in constant motion.
    6. If you apply pressure to a sample of gas, it is fairly easy to compress its volume (think about what
    would happen to a balloon if you squeeze it gently). This can be explained because there is a lot of
    empty space between gas particles.
    7. If someone sprays perfume in one corner of the room, eventually a person on the other side of the
    room can smell it. This can be explained because gas particles move quick and random. In general,
    we would expect lighter gas particles to travel faster than heavier gas particles.
    8. When two gases mix together or move through each other, this process is known as diffusion. When
    gas particles escape out of a tiny hole in a container, this process is known as effusion. You should
    know the difference between these two words so you can avoid any confusion!
    9. Kinetic molecular theory can be summarized as follows:

    a. Gas particles are in constant motion.


    b. Gas particles are separated by relatively large distances.
    c. When gas particles collide, they do not transfer kinetic energy.
    d. Gas particles have no attractive or repulsive forces between them.
    e. The kinetic energy of a gas is dependent on the temperature of the gas.
