Kinetic molecular theory postulate

Step one of the kinetic molecular theory

Gases consist of particles that are tiny compared with the great distances between them

Step two of the Kinetic molecular theory

Particles and gases move in random directions with high velocities and at many different speeds

Step three of the kinetic molecular theory

Particles and gases do not interact with each other or the walls of their container, except during momentary collisions

Step four of the kinetic molecular theory

Collisions between gas particles are elastic that is they conserve energy

Step five of the kinetic molecular theory

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas in Kelvin’s
