KPT

KPT (Kinetic particle theory)

From solid to liquid

1.   The solid particles gain Kinetic Energy (start)
2.   Forces of attraction breaks (process)
3.   Particles in a liquid (end)

Particles in a solid are…
1.   Packed
2.   Vibrate in a fixed position
3.   Forces of attraction are very strong

What happens when solids particles turn to liquid.
1.   The particles gain heat
2.   Increased Kinetic Energy
3.   Forces of attraction weakens
4.   The particles vibrate more vigorously.

Particles of a liquid are…
1.   Not packed tightly
2.   Moves around
3.   Forces of attraction are weaker than compared to the ones in a solid
