  1. Kinetic Molecular Theory kinetic Origin: 1850–55; < Gk kīnētikós moving, equiv. to kīnē- (verbid s. of kīneîn to move) + -tikos Source: Websters Dictionary

  2. Standards

  3. Gases expand to fill their containers Gases are fluid – they flow Gases have low density 1/1000 the density of the equivalent liquid or solid Gases are compressible Gases effuse and diffuse The Nature of Gases

  4. Particles of matter are ALWAYS in motion Volume of individual particles is  zero. Collisions of particles with container walls cause the pressure exerted by gas. Particles exert no forces on each other. Average kinetic energy is proportional to Kelvin temperature of a gas. Kinetic Molecular Theory
