Kinetic Theory of Gases
Molecular description of gases, pressure, mean free path and gas laws.
1.Introduction to Kinetic Theory
Simple explanation of how gases are made of tiny moving particles and how their motion explains gas behaviour.2.Molecular Nature of Matter
Understand that all matter is made of extremely small molecules that are in constant motion.3.Behaviour of Gases
Learn how gas particles move freely, spread out quickly and change pressure and volume.4.Pressure of a Gas
Simple explanation of how gas molecules colliding with the walls of a container create pressure.5.Kinetic Energy of Gas Molecules
Understand how temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of gas molecules.6.Degrees of Freedom
Beginner-friendly explanation of the independent ways in which gas molecules can move.7.Mean Free Path
Learn what the 'mean free path' is and how often gas molecules collide while moving.8.Ideal Gas Concept
Simple introduction to the idea of an ideal gas that obeys basic gas laws perfectly.9.Gas Laws
Learn the fundamental gas laws—Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay-Lussac’s laws—in simple terms.10.Boltzmann Constant
Understand the importance of Boltzmann constant in connecting temperature and particle energy.11.RMS Speed of Gas Molecules
Simple explanation of root-mean-square speed and how it relates to temperature of gases.12.Pressure-Energy Relation
Learn how pressure of a gas is mathematically linked to its molecular kinetic energy.13.Limitations of Kinetic Theory
Understand why real gases do not behave exactly like ideal gases and where kinetic theory fails.
