The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion.

Atmosphere.
What are the advantages of the kinetic theory?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
kinetic theory | Kinetic theory explains macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, and volume, by considering their molecular composition and motion. |
Gadgets | How it can be used |
---|---|
Molecular observation of gases. | The theory posits that pressure is due not to static repulsion between molecules, as was Isaac Newton's conjecture, but due to collisions between molecules moving at different velocities through Brownian motion. |
To better understand the behavior of matter.
Laboratory.
Examples | Explainations |
---|---|
Brownian motion | While the particles making up a gas are too small to be visible, the jittering motion of pollen grains or dust particles which can be seen under a microscope, known as Brownian motion, results directly from collisions between the particle and gas molecules. |
The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion.
This experimental evidence for kinetic theory is generally seen as having confirmed the existence of atoms and molecules.
