Detailed explanation-1: -Kinetic theory explains the behaviour of gases based on the idea that the gas consists of rapidly moving atoms or molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kinetic molecular theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions. Kinetic molecular theory can be used to explain both Charles’s and Boyle’s laws. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion. The rapidly moving particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of the container.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kinetic theory is also known as kinetic-molecular theory or collision theory. There are three main components to kinetic theory: No energy is gained or lost when molecules collide. The molecules in a gas take up a negligible (able to be ignored) amount of space in relation to the container they occupy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. The molecules are in constant, random motion and frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container.
