The Five points of Particle Theory are:

As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles.

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.

• All Matter is made up of tiny particles, invisible to the naked eye.
• All particles in a pure substance are the same.
• Particles have spaces between them, regardless of size.
• Particles move faster and spread more when heated.

All matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles too small to see. These particles do not share the properties of the material they make up. There is nothing in the space between the particles that make up matter. The particles which make up matter are in constant motion in all physical states.

• 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.

It is true to say that particles of matter have space between them. As physical properties of matter states that matter possess space between its constituent particles. So, It goes into the small spaces present in between water molecules.

The Molecular or Kinetic Theory states that matter consists of small molecules in motion. The Atomic Theory states that matter consists of smaller particles called atoms. Subatomic theories state that atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, and they are made up of even smaller particles.

The modern theory of matter dates from the work of John Dalton at the beginning of the 19th cent. An element in modern theory is any substance all of whose atoms are the same (i.e., have the same atomic number), while a compound is composed of different types of atoms together in molecules.
