What Is Kinetic Molecular Theory Of Gases?
Kinetic molecular theory explains the behavior of gases in terms of interaction of molecules and the energy they posses The main postulates of K.M.T are as follows 1 any gas consists of large number of tiny particles called molecules. Molecules consist of an atom or group of atoms. All the molecules of a gas are in stability are considered to identical 2 a finite volume of gas consists of large number of molecules 3 the molecules are point masses. The distance between molecules is very large as compared to there own dimensions. 4 the molecules are in a state of continuos motion they move randomly in all directions 5 during their random motion at various speeds the molecules collide with each other and with the walls of the container.
