Molecular Theory

Molecular theory explains that all matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules, which are groups of atoms bonded together. These molecules are constantly moving and interacting, which explains properties like temperature, pressure, and states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). The theory helps us understand how substances change — for example, solids have tightly packed molecules, liquids have more freedom to move, and gases have molecules that are far apart. Overall, molecular theory provides a fundamental framework for understanding the behavior and composition of everything around us at a microscopic level.
