Explain in brief the postulates of the kinetic theory
Answers
This theory is based on the following postulates, or assumptions. Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion. ... There is no force of attraction between gas particles or between the particles and the walls of the container.
1)Gases contain large number of tiny and discrete particles called molecules
2)Gas molecules are very much apart from each other
3)The molecules move randomly in all directions with high velocities
4)The collisions between gas molecules of perfectly elastic
5)pressure exerted by a gas is due to collisions of molecules made on the walls of the vessel
6)KE is directly proportional to the temperature
7)Molecules are electrically Netural and do not have attractions or repulsions between them
8)Molecular motions are unaffected by gravity .
