  4. Gas particles have negligible mass

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary assumption of the kinetic molecular theory of gases?
  • Step 1: Understand that gases are made up of tiny particles called molecules.
  • Step 2: Know that these gas molecules are always moving around.
  • Step 3: Realize that the movement of these molecules is random, meaning they move in different directions and speeds.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this constant and random motion of gas particles helps explain how gases behave, such as filling up a container.
