Kinetic Molecular Theory Flashcards
States that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions
Kinetic molecular theory
Can be used to explain both Charles and Boyle’s laws
Kinetic molecular theory
Average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature
Kinetic molecular theory
Molecules is determined only by the absolute temperature of the gas
Average kinetic energy
Gases are made up of ( blank ), which are separated by a ( blank ) between them.
-Very small molecules
-Very expansive space
The ( blank ) between two particles are ( blank ). Therefore, the motion of each particles is independent of one another.
-force of attraction
-negligible
Since, they have so much space between them, the molecules are in ( blank ) and move around ( blank ).
-constant motion
-randomly in all directions
Due to their perpetual state of random motion, sometimes the particles will ( blank ) with each other and with the walls of the container.
-collide
The collisions that occur are assumed to be ( blank ), hence, there is no change in momentum in the molecules.
-perfectly elastic
The ( blank ) of the molecules is determined only by the absolute temperature of the gas.
