Think of people in a crowded room or children playing in a playground—they are constantly moving around, colliding, and shifting positions, just like particles in matter.

Space, Motion, Attraction (SMA) — the three main characteristics of particles of matter.

According to the kinetic theory of matter, all matter is made up of particles that are constantly in motion. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of these particles increases, leading to faster movement. Therefore, stating that particles are static contradicts the fundamental behavior of matter.

Always remember that temperature is a direct measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. When temperature rises, particle motion increases.
