MOLECULAR STRUCTURES USING KINETIC THEORY

Kinetic molecular theory is useful in describing the properties of solids, liquids and gases at the molecular level.  Kinetic theory of matter assumes that matter is made up of tiny particles such as atoms, molecules and ions that are continually moving and therefore possess kinetic energy. The more heat you give these particles, the faster
