Kinetic theory of matter |
The Kinetic theory of matter explains the properties of different states of matter based on the Kinetic energy of the particles in that matter. According to the Kinetic theory of matter:- 1. All matter is made up of tiny particles i.e. atoms and molecules. 2. These particles have spaces between them which are called intermolecular spaces. 3. These particles are in continuos, random and zigzag motion and possess Kinetic energy. 4. The particles of matter attract each other with a force known as intermolecular force of attraction. 5. The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is inversely proportional to the distance between them. |

Properties of solid, liquid and gas |
Solid :- 1. The molecules are closely packed. 2. They do not have large intermolecular space. 3. They are held together by strong intermolecular force of attraction. 4. They have a fixed shape. 5. They cannot flow. 6. They are incompressible. Liquid:- 1. The molecules are loosely packed. 2. They have moderate intermolecular space. 3. They are held together by weak intermolecular force of attraction. 4. They do not have a fixed shape. 5. They can flow. 6. They cannot be compressed easily. Gas :- 1. The molecules are very loosely packed. 2. They have large intermolecular space. 3. They are held together by very weak intermolecular force of attraction. 4. They do not have a fixed shape. 5. They can flow. 6. They are highly compressible. |

Does gravity effect any state of matter? Explain how. |
Yes gravity effect the liquid state of matter. When we pour water in a glass it does not remain without using vessel. |
