Answer:

The kinetic theory of matter (particle theory) says that all matter consists of many, very small particles which are constantly moving or in a continual state of motion. The degree to which the particles move is determined by the amount of energy they have and their relationship to other particles.

Six main points of the particle theory:

• All matter is made of particles.

• Particles have space between them.

• Particles are always moving.

• Particles move faster and get farther apart when heated.

• Particles are attracted to each other.

• All Particles of the same substance are identical
