Kinetic Molecular Theory
So far we have considered “what happens,” but not “why.”
In science, “what” always comes before “why.”
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Assumptions:
1. Gas particles are in rapid motion, colliding with container walls.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Assumptions:
2. Gas particles have negligible size compared to the distances between them.

Kinetic Molecular Theory
Assumptions:
3. Gas particles have no attraction for one another.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Assumptions:
4. Absolute temperature of the gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.
