Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary assumption of the kinetic theory of gases regarding the motion of gas molecules?
  • Step 1: Understand that gas molecules are very small particles.
  • Step 2: Know that these molecules are always in motion.
  • Step 3: Realize that the motion of gas molecules is mostly in straight lines.
  • Step 4: Learn that gas molecules continue moving in straight lines until they hit something.
  • Step 5: Recognize that they can collide with other gas molecules or the walls of their container.
