Particle theory?

Use the particle theory to account for these observations:

a) Water pours readily from a container. Honey flows slowly and is viscous.
b) A gas spreads through a container quickly, but a solid slowly dissolves and spreads through a liquid
c) The volume of a liquid decreases after it has been left in an open container. The hotter the liquids, the sooner it disappears.

Any help welcome..thx!

I'll just give you an idea, you have to understand the underlying
principles on your own,

The properties of solids, liquids, and gases can be explained by the kinetic theory of matter, the theory that all matter is made up of very small particles which are in constant motion.

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the atoms or molecules in a solid are packed closely together in a regular arrangement, and are not free to move but merely vibrate about fixed positions, such as those in crystal lattices. Hence they do not "flow".

On the other hand, the way that liquids behave can be explained by the kinetic theory of matter and particle theory. Its atoms do not occupy fixed positions as in a crystalline solid, nor do they have total freedom of movement as in a gas. Unlike a gas, a liquid is difficult to compress since pressure applied at one point is equally transmitted throughout (Pascal's principle).

Because the honey has a higher viscosity than water, it has a
higher resistance to letting something move through it. Note that viscosity is different from density.

To apply particle theory look at the "molecular arrangement" and the bonds persisting in the matrix.

Good luck with your homework!
