According to kinetic molecular model in gases - JAMB Physics 2022 Question
According to kinetic molecular model in gases,
the particles are closely packed together; they occupy minimum space are usually arranged in a regular pattern
the particles vibrate about fixed positions and are held together by the strong intermolecular bonds between them
the molecules are very far apart and occupy all the spaces made available to them
the particles occur in clusters with molecules slightly further apart
According to the kinetic molecular model in gases, gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions.
The main postulates of the theory are:
(1) the particles in a gas are in constant, random motion
2) the combined volume of the particles is negligible
(3) the particles exert no forces on one another
(4) any collisions between the particles are completely elastic
(5) the average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the temperature in kelvins
