It is said that the assumptions of kinetic theory are good for gases having low densities. Suppose a container is so evacuated that only one molecule is left in it. Which of the assumptions of kinetic theory will not be valid for such a situation? Can we assign a temperature to this gas?

The two postulates of the kinetic theory will not be valid in this case. These are as follows:
- All gases are made up of molecules and they move in all directions randomly.
- A gas comes to a steady state if it is left for a sufficient time. The density and the distribution of molecules with different velocities are not dependent of position, direction and time.
