Explain using the particle theory why objects generally expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When heated, particles vibrate faster, thus increasing the distance between one another. The distance between these particles results in changes of state. Therefore, increased molecular motion results in expansion of an object. This works vice versa for cooling. As the vibrations slow down, the particles become closer together. This results in contraction.

notka56 [123]
An orbital is the most probable location of an electron. This is because you can't pinpoint the exact location of an electron because as soon as you do it will have moved again, so orbitals are used to find the probability of where a certain electron is.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the pressure of a gas in a container will increase if the "number of collisions with the container wall increases".

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pressure is characterized as force acting by area per unit. It is triggered by gas molecules bombarding on the container walls. Kinetic molecular theory suggests that gases are made up of large numbers of small particles with continuous movement. Here there are elastic collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls. There are no forces of attraction among them because of the large spaces between the gas particles. The gas temperature relies on the particle's average kinetic energy.
