Kinetic Theory of gases

 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}.
