Question

define kinetic theory

Answer 1

energy possessed due to it's state of motion

Answer 2

$\huge \text{Kinetic\: Theory }$

✍ The Kinetic theory was developed by Maxwell, Boltzmann and others in the 19th century.

✍ It explains the behaviour of gases based on the idea the gases consists of a large number of atoms or molecules in a state of continuous random motion.

✍ The inter atomic forces binding the atoms are negligible. The theory is consistent with various gas laws and Avogadro's hypothesis.

✍ It gives molecular interpretation of temperature, pressure, specific heat capacities, viscosity, conduction and diffusion of gases.
