Assumptions of Kinetic Molecular Theory
138
Assumption Three
A gas is composed of particles in constant motion. Therefore they possess kinetic energy.
Assumption Four
Assumption Two:
The individual gas particles are neither attracted to each other and they don't repel each other either.
Collisions between gas particles and between particles and containers are elastic collisions (there is no loss of total kinetic energy)

Assumption One:
Assumption Five
Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles that are far apart relative to their size.
The average kinetic energy depends on temperature, the higher the kinetic energy, the higher the kinetic energy and the faster the particles are moving.
KE = (1/2)mv2 = (3/2)kBT, where kB is Boltzmann's constant (kB = 1.381×10-23 m2 kg s-2 K-1)
