Kinetic Molecular Theory
The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles,
all of which are in constant, random motion.
The theory says that gas pressure is due to the impacts, on the walls of a
container, of molecules or atoms moving at different velocities.
Expansion
Do not have a definite shape
or volume
They completely fill a container
in which they are enclosed
Fluidity
The quality or state of being a fluid.
The physical property of a substance that enables it to flow: the reciprocal of
viscosity.
