Kinetic Theory of Gases

Dive into the microscopic world of gases! Understand how the random motion of billions of tiny molecules gives rise to macroscopic properties like Pressure and Temperature.

What is Kinetic Theory?

It is a theoretical model that explains the behavior of gases based on the idea that gas consists of rapidly moving atoms or molecules.

Key Successes:

  • Explains Gas Laws (Boyle's, Charles')
  • Interprets Temperature & Pressure
  • Explains Specific Heat Capacities
