kinetic theory of matter /Atoms/matter in motion/ temperature and heat

kinetic theory of matter

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.Matter is present in three states, which are known as the states of matter. these are solid liquid or gas

Atoms
The atom is the smallest particle of matter the combination of two or more atoms for a molecule.
Most matter is made up of atoms and molecules, the physical state of matter depends on how its atoms are arranged and how they move

matter in motion
a Scottish botanist discovered that particules of atoms and molecules move in different direction.
the constant random motion of tiny particles called brownian motion in his honor
this idea that the particles of all matter are in constant random motion is called kinetic theory of matter.the energy of moving particles is known as kinetic energy

temperature and heat
the temperature is the avarage kinetic enrgy of the particles that make up the material.
when the temperature is high the particles move faster. the lower the temperature, the particles move slowly the particles at absolute zero is when particles cease to  move.
when matter at high temperature touches matter at low temperature, the particles collide and the ones with the highest temperature transfere some of its energy to the ones with low temperature heat is energy transfered from matter with high temperature to matter with low temperature
