Kinetic Theory of Gases :-
- Gases consist of large number of molecules.
- Molecules of gases are always in random motion.
- The volume of a gas molecule is negligible as compared to the total volume occupied by the gas.
- During random motion molecules of gas collides with each other and with the walls of the container.
- The collision of the gas molecules are perfectly elastic. There is no loss in kinetic energy and the total momentum remains conserved.
- The momentum transfer by the molecules of the gas during collision on the surface of the container is called as PRESSURE exerted by the gas.
- Intermolecular forces are negligible except during the collision of molecules.
- A molecule moves with uniform velocity during collisions{ignoring gravity}.
