Kinetic Molecular Theory grade 10 Introduction
Summary
TLDRIn this educational video, Miss Martins explores the kinetic molecular theory, explaining that all matter is composed of atoms and particles in constant motion. She discusses how the phase of matter—solid, liquid, or gas—is determined by particle velocity and kinetic energy. Miss Martins differentiates between states by particle arrangement and movement, highlighting the importance of understanding intermolecular forces and the distinction between temperature and heat. She also covers phase changes, such as melting, freezing, boiling, and condensation, and introduces plasma and Oobleck. The video aims to prepare students for exams by clarifying concepts and terminology.
Takeaways
- 🔬 The kinetic molecular theory states that all matter is composed of atoms and particles that are always in motion, even in solids where the movement is not easily observable.
- 🌡️ Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, which is directly related to the speed of particle movement.
- 🔥 Adding heat or energy to a substance can cause a phase change, such as from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to gas (boiling or evaporation).
- 🧊 In solids, particles are closely packed with high density and vibrate in fixed positions, whereas in liquids, they maintain a fixed volume and take the shape of their container.
- 💨 Gases expand to fill any available volume, and their particles move very quickly, leading to higher pressure and the ability to be compressed.

Q & A
What is the kinetic molecular theory?
-The kinetic molecular theory states that all matter is made up of atoms and particles that are always in motion, possessing kinetic energy. This movement, along with the velocity of particles, determines the phase of matter, whether it's solid, liquid, or gas.
How do particles behave in a solid state according to the kinetic molecular theory?
-In a solid state, particles are closely packed with high density and vibrate in fixed positions. They maintain a definite shape and volume.
What happens to particles when matter transitions from a solid to a liquid state?
-As matter transitions from a solid to a liquid state, the particles gain more energy, increasing their kinetic energy and allowing them to move more freely, though they still maintain a fixed volume.
How do particles behave in a gaseous state?
-In a gaseous state, particles have the highest kinetic energy and move very fast. They expand to occupy the entire volume available and collide with the container walls and each other, resulting in higher pressure.
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and the phase of matter?
-The phase of matter is determined by the kinetic energy of its particles. Higher kinetic energy leads to faster movement and can cause a phase change from solid to liquid to gas.
What is the formula for kinetic energy mentioned in the script?
-The formula for kinetic energy is \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{mass} \times \text{velocity}^2 \), indicating that the speed of particles (velocity) is directly related to their kinetic energy.
How does temperature relate to the kinetic energy of particles?
-Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Higher temperatures correspond to faster-moving particles with greater kinetic energy.
What is the difference between temperature and heat according to the script?
-While temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, heat is the energy transferred between substances due to a temperature difference. The script notes that they are not exactly the same thing.
What are the phase changes from solid to liquid and liquid to solid called?
-The phase change from solid to liquid is called melting, and from liquid to solid is called freezing.
What are the phase changes from liquid to gas and gas to liquid known as?
-The phase change from liquid to gas can be called either boiling or evaporation, while the reverse process from gas to liquid is known as condensation.
What is the term for the phase change from solid directly to gas?
-The phase change from solid directly to gas is called sublimation.
What is the term for the phase change from gas directly to solid?
-The phase change from gas directly to solid is called deposition.

🔬 Introduction to Kinetic Molecular Theory
Miss Martins, a physical sciences and math teacher, introduces the kinetic molecular theory in this educational video. She explains that all matter, including everyday objects and the viewer's devices, is composed of atoms and particles that are always in motion, possessing kinetic energy. Even in solids where movement isn't apparent, particles vibrate in fixed positions. As matter transitions to other states like liquids and gases, particles gain more energy and move faster. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding particle movement, velocity, and kinetic energy in determining a substance's state (solid, liquid, or gas). Miss Martins also provides illustrations to differentiate between these states, noting that in solids, particles are closely packed with high density, while in liquids, they maintain a fixed volume and take the shape of their container. Gases, on the other hand, expand to fill any available volume and have higher pressure due to particles moving quickly and bouncing off each other. The video concludes with a brief mention of the relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity, and the distinction between temperature and heat.
🌡️ Phase Changes and States of Matter
In the second paragraph, Miss Martins delves into phase changes within the kinetic molecular theory. She describes the transitions from solid to liquid as melting, liquid to gas as either boiling or evaporation, and gas to liquid as condensation. The video also touches on sublimation, which is the direct change from solid to gas, and deposition, the reverse process from gas to solid. Miss Martins uses a photo to summarize the energy changes associated with these phase transitions, emphasizing the addition of heat. She introduces plasma as another state of matter where gaseous substances become ionized, and mentions Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves as a solid or liquid depending on the pressure applied. The teacher encourages students to learn the differences between the states of matter for exams and concludes by inviting viewers to request topics for future videos, specifically asking if they would like to see a video on the heating curve.

hello greetings welcome to another video
with me Miss Martins I'm a physical
sciences and a math teacher so if you
want to see more physics chemistry and
math videos please let me know in the
comments below what topic you want to
see don't forget to give this video a
thumbs up and subscribe so that I know
that you want more things I'm planning
on doing a whole exam prep Series where
I go through past papers so let me know
what you want to see in the comments
below
today we're going to go over the kinetic
molecular theory a brief introduction I
know some of you have been asking for
this so let's do it
the kinetic molecular theory says that
all matter
my coffee cup my cell phone me you your
computer your phone whatever you're
watching this on everything is made up
of atoms and particles and particles are
always moving even if you think they're
not they are in a solid you may not see
the particle movement but at a
microscopic level atoms and particles
possess kinetic energy which means they
possess velocity which means that they
are moving in a solid it might not be
obvious but particles are vibrating in
fixed positions as we move on to other
phases of matter or states of matter
like liquid gas plasma these particles
gain more energy therefore the kinetic
energy increases and the particles move
faster it's these sort of things that
you need to know and understand when it
comes to the kinetic molecular theory
but in a nutshell what you need to know
is that movement how fast the particles
are moving their velocity their kinetic
energy that determines the phase of the
matter whether it's solid liquid or gas
here is a brief illustration of the
differences between solid liquid and gas
in solid States you can see the
particles are close together higher
density they packed in fixed positions
they vibrate or move in fixed positions
in liquid the matter maintains a fixed
volume so if I pour water into a cup
versus a box that liquid that water will
take the shape that it'll make it'll
mold itself to the volume to that shape
of that container
in a gas State however the matter
expands to occupy whatever volume is
available and that's why if you spray
air freshener on the one side of the
room the person on the other side may
not smell it initially but give a Time
those little particles expand to occupy
the whole volume of the room
in gases the particles also move very
quickly bounce against the container
walls bounce against each other and
that's why the pressure for gases is
higher you can compress gases but you
can't compress a solid
here's another illustration of a solid
versus a liquid versus a gas
now it's very important to understand
that a state in which a substance exists
so whether it's liquid solid or gas
depends on the kinetic energy of its
particles and kinetic energy is related
to speed you will learn in further
sections later on in grade 10 11 and 12
that kinetic energy the formula for
kinetic energy is half
times mass times velocity squared so you
can see velocity is speed so how fast
the particles move their speed
determines the kinetic energy we know
that gases the particles move a lot
faster than solids for example and the
intermolecular forces so those are the
forces that hold particles together in
solids and liquid phases in gas phases
intermolecular forces are almost
non-existent or very very weak
now it's very important to note that
temperature and heat are not exactly the
same thing we won't really get into it
into this video but the temperature of a
substance is a measure of a particle's
average kinetic energy or the the
particles in the substances average
kinetic energy that's very important you
need to know that if we have a higher
temperature the particles move a lot
faster they have a higher kinetic energy
now how do I make a substance change
phase How does it go from a solid to a
liquid to a gas that happens when I add
heat or add energy now remember I did
mention that heat is not exactly the
same as temperature so I can add heat to
a substance and its temperature can stay
the same this sounds a little bit weird
but when we do the heating curve it will
make sense to you but for now just focus
on the fact that if I add heat or energy
if I increase it or if I decrease it I
can cause a phase change
see if you can fill in these phase
changes with me so if I go from a solid
to a liquid that is called malting okay
so we take a solid think about ice if I
go from solid ice
solid water ice to liquid water melting
if I go the other way around liquid to
solid it's called freezing you do need
to know the names of these phase changes
within the kinetic molecular theory
if I go from liquid to gas it's either
called boiling
think about boiling a kettle or it is
called evaporation
evaporation either or boiling or
evaporation
if I go the other way so a gas back to a
liquid it's called condensation and we
can see that inside a kettle when we
boil
something we see the little water
droplets condensing the gas going back
into a liquid form on the sides of the
kettle
then we've got if I go straight from a
solid directly to a gas with no
intermediate liquid phase in between so
the keyword is directly that is called
sublimation and you do need to know that
sublimation and now I remember
sublimation is we're going from a solid
to a gas solid sublimation solid
directly to a gas and then the reverse
going from a gas back to a solid is
called deposition so those are called
phase changes
phase changes and yes you do need to
know them just be careful because if a
question in the exam asks you to State
the phase
then you have to say solid liquid or gas
if they say the phase change you have to
give me malting freezing condensation
one of those
so I love this photo it kind of
summarizes everything very very nicely
and you can see that as I go from the
solid face to the gas face I'm adding
heat energy
just so you know plasma is another phase
of matter it's a state of matter in
which gaseous substances become ionized
and basically the electrons escape from
the atoms and it leaves positively
charged protons free electrons free Pro
protons that is where we get the ionized
gas phase and it's called plasma
we also get this really cool thing just
as a side note it's called Oobleck it's
a non-Newtonian fluid or liquid and the
state that of matter that it's in so
whether it's more solid or whether it's
more liquid depends on the pressure that
you apply to the substance itself so if
I squeeze the substance it becomes a
solid if I relax the pressure if I
remove the pressure it turns into a
liquid let me know in the comments below
if you'd like me to make some of this on
my YouTube channel here
of all the differences between solid
solid liquid and gas they can ask this
in an exam they can ask you to tabulate
it they can ask you to list differences
so I would pick three maybe four learn
the differences and there we go you're
all set for your exam
in the next video we will be looking at
the heating curve if you guys want it
let me know down below if you'd like to
see me go over the heating curve and
don't forget to subscribe let me know
whatever else you want me to do whatever
else you want me to see on this channel
I'm making content to help you guys so
thank you for watching and I hope you
enjoyed the video
