Explanation:
The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that:
(1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size.
(2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact.
(3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat. These simplifying assumptions bring the characteristics of gases within the range of mathematical treatment.
