Kinetic Molecular Theory
Front
the theory that all matter is composed of particles (atoms and molecules) moving constantly in random directions.
Properties include:
•move rapidly and randomly
•have no volume
•no retractive or repulsive forces between particles
•all collisions are elastic
•average kinetic energy or particles are directly proportional to the temperature
•when they collide they do not gain or lose energy
