Familiarize yourself with the periodic table In balancing chemical equation, it is like a tug of … Read more

Kinetic Model of Matter 101

Main Idea(s) Matter is made of tiny particles (atoms or molecules) that are in random and continuous motion. Effects of Temperature on Molecular Motion When temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This leads to increase in the average speed of the molecules, resulting in the particles collide with the wall/other particles … Read more
