|
Answer» Assumptions of kinetic theory of gases : 1. Nature of gas molecules : (a) A gas consists of very large number of tiny particles called molecules . (b) The molecules are rigid and perfectly elastic spheres of very small diameters i.e., `10^(-10)m`. 2. Random motion of gas molecules : (a) The molecules are always in a state of random motion. This state is also called as molecular chaos. (b) Between any two successive collisions, the molecule follows a straight line path with constant velocity known as free path. |
