===About Kinetic Theory===
:[[Kinetic Theory]] [[explain]]s the [[property|properties]] of [[solid]]s, [[liquid]]s and [[gas]]es as well as [[explain]]ing the [[State Change|state changes]] from one to another.: [[Kinetic Theory]] can be used to [[explain]] what happens to [[matter]] when it is [[heat]]ed. ===Kinetic Theory and Temperature===: The higher the [[temperature]] of a [[material]] the faster the [[particle]]s in that [[material]] [[vibrate]] and move.: When a [[solid]] is [[heat]]ed the [[particle]]s [[vibrate]] faster and when they [[collide]] with each other they push one another further apart. This causes a [[solid]] to [[expand]] when it is [[heat]]ed.: If a [[solid]] is [[heat]]ed enough the [[bonds]], holding the [[particle]]s in fixed positions, break allowing the [[particle]]s to move past each other, turning the [[solid]] into a [[liquid]].: When a [[liquid]] is [[heat]]ed the [[particle]]s move around [[faster]] and [[collide]] with each other with a greater [[force]] causing the liquid to [[expand]] when it is [[heat]]ed.: If a [[liquid]] is [[heat]]ed enough the [[particle]]s can move so fast that they escape the [[bonds]] holding the [[particle]]s to each other which allows them to leave the [[liquid]] to become part of a [[gas]].
