I bragged to my dad about my presentation. When I went to show him the presentation on his work computer from SlideShare, I had uploaded the wrong powerpoint. That's why the date's wrong. I just got the chance to go online. I hope you like it! I spent a lot of time on the presentation. :)

2. What’s the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
It’s a theory that helps explain difference between
the states of matter.

3. The Kinetic Theory of Matter states…
Matter is made up of constantly moving molecules
or atoms.

4. Under the Kinetic Theory of Matter…
Solids’ particles are so close to each other that they
only vibrate in place.

5. Under the Kinetic Theory of Matter…
Liquids’ particles have more space to move than
solids, but there is still an attraction between
them.

6. Under the Kinetic Theory of Matter…
Gases’ particles are far apart and move around
because the attraction is so low it can be
disregarded.

7. Substances can change into different phases of matter and
back.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

8. First, we need to know about….
Kinetic Energy is energy of motion. There are multiple forms, such as:
 Vibrational
 Rotational
 Translational.

9. First, we need to know about….
Thermal energy is total kinetic energy of all of a substance’s
atoms and molecules .

10. First, we need to know about….
Temperature is the average amount of kinetic
energy in an object.

11. Matter can change into different phases because
the exchange of thermal energy between a substance and the
environment.

12. Everything wants to be in its lowest state of energy. That’s
why the exchange occurs!

13. • Increases as temperature increases
• Increases as kinetic energy increases
Thermal
Energy
• Increases as kinetic energy increases
Temperature
• Increases as thermal energy increases
• Motion increases as temperature increases
• Increases as thermal energy increases
Kinetic
Energy

14. Overall, when temperature increases, atoms and
molecules’ motion increases (kinetic energy).
Thermal energy increases because the total amount of
kinetic energy increased due to the temperature
change.
THEY’RE ALL INTERTWINED!
