Kinetic Models

Kinetic models describe how particles in matter behave and interact. They help us understand the temperature, pressure, and volume of gases, liquids, and solids. According to these models, matter consists of tiny particles that are in constant motion. In gases, particles move freely and collide; in liquids, they are closer and move more slowly; and in solids, they vibrate in fixed positions. These movements explain properties like expansion when heated or how pressure changes when particles are compressed. Overall, kinetic models provide insights into the physical behavior of substances based on particle dynamics.
