Basic Assumptions of the kinetic theory. • The number of molecules is Large. • The average separation is large compared to the size of each molecule • F=ma is valid • Molecules only interact via eleastic collisions at short range. • Molecules make elastic collisions with the walls • All molecules are identical.
