The Kinetic Theory <p class="sensei-content-description">The kinetic theory of matter assumes that matter is made up of tiny particles such as atoms, molecules and ions that are constantly moving and therefore possess kinetic energy.</p> <p>The kinetic theory of matter is also known as the moving molecule theory. It is used to explain scientific facts about properties of solids, liquids and gases as well as their interactions.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://www.primacyebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kinetic-theory-1-e1725206554901.jpg" alt="Kinetic theory of gases" class="wp-image-20659"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kinetic theory of gases</figcaption></figure> <div class="sign-up-notice-after-excerpt-two" style="background-color:powderblue;"> You are viewing an excerpt of this lesson.
