The individual molecules that make up the gas take up no volume; they are point-particles.
The particles collide with each other and the walls of the container, and all of these collisions are elastic, meaning that no energy is lost as a result.
Molecules exert no forces upon each other (dipole-dipole, london dispersion, relativistic effects, quantum-mechanical effects, etc) excluding collisions.
The molecules of a gas are in constant and random motion.
The average kinetic energy of the gas depends solely on and is directly proportional to temperature.
The time taken during collisions is negligible when compared to the time between successive collisions.
