Question

List the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory of matter.

Answer 1

The main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory of matter are as follows:

• The particles in a gas are in constant, random motion.
• The combined volume of the particles is negligible.
• The particles exert no forces on one another.
• Any collisions between the particles are completely elastic.
• The average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the temperature in kelvins.
