The Kinetic Molecular Theory
• The kinetic molecular theory of matter
states that the particles in all matter are in
constant state of motion.

• The theory is used to explain the properties

of solids, liquids, and gases.
• What have your learned so far about the
kinetic molecular theory? Type your
answers below.

• The are five assumptions of the Kinetic
Molecular theory (Behavior of Gas):
1. Gases consist of large numbers of tiny
particles that are far apart relative to their size.
• Gases occupy all the empty space in a room.
• Gases have lower density than solids and liquids.
• The are five assumptions of the Kinetic
Molecular theory (Behavior of Gas):
2. Collisions between gas particles and between
particles and container walls are perfectly elastic
collisions. (no loss of energy)
• The are five assumptions of the Kinetic
Molecular theory (Behavior of Gas):
3. Gas particles are in constant, rapid, random,
motion – They possess KINETIC ENERGY.
• The are five assumptions of the Kinetic
Molecular theory (Behavior of Gas):
4. There is no force of attraction or repulsion
between gas particles. (gas particles do not stick
together and immediately bounce apart)
• The are five assumptions of the Kinetic
Molecular theory (Behavior of Gas):
5. The average kinetic energy of gas particles
depend on the temperature of the gas. (the
higher the temperature the faster gas particles
move)
• The Kinetic Energy of Gas Particles:

• At the same conditions of temperature, all

gases have the same average kinetic energy.

KE = ½ mv2
Where: m = mass and v = velocity

Note: At the same temperature, small molecules

move faster than large molecules.
