According to kinetic molecular model in gases - JAMB Physics 2019 Question
According to kinetic molecular model, in gases
The molecule are very fast apart & occupy all the space made available
A. The particles vibrate about fixed positions and are held together by the strong intermolecular bond between them
B. The particles occur in clusters with molecules slightly farther apart
The particles are closely packed together, they occupy minimum space & are usually arranged in a regular pattern
In kinetic molecular theory, the gases are energised and hence moves freely and energetically as they occupy specific space.
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' and Boyle's Laws. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.
