Question

What are the four principles of kinetic molecular theory?

Answer 1

Kinetic molecular theory:

1. The Kinetic molecular theory describes matter states and is based on the assumption that matter is made up of small particles that are always in motion.
2. This theory contributes to the understanding of observable characteristics and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases.

Principles of Kinetic Molecular Theory:

The Kinetic-Molecular theory of gases assumes that the ideal gas molecules:

1. are constantly moving,
2. have negligible volume,
3. have negligible intermolecular forces,
4. collide perfectly elastically, and
5. have an average kinetic energy proportional to the absolute temperature of the ideal gas.
