Key Points: Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

  1. A gas consists of an extremely large number of tiny, discrete molecules whose actual volume is negligible compared to the total volume of the gas
  2. Gas molecules are in constant, random motion moving in straight lines; they change direction upon collisions with other molecules or container walls
  3. Intermolecular forces are negligible — molecules neither attract nor repel each other
  4. Effect of gravity on molecules is negligible
  5. All molecular collisions are perfectly elastic — total kinetic energy is conserved (though energy can be redistributed)
  6. Gas pressure is caused by molecular bombardment against the walls of the container
  7. Different molecules have different kinetic energies, but the average KE is directly proportional to absolute temperature: Average KE ∝ T
