1. Kinetic Theory and Particle Matter

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Kinetic theory of gases : explains the similar behavior of gases by relating their observable properties to the motion and kinetic energy of their particles
  • Ideal gas : a hypothetical gas whose particles occupy negligible volume and exert no attractive forces on one another

Essential Points

  • The kinetic theory of gases was developed from observations made by numerous scientists during the eighteenth century.
