Question

what three assumptions about particles in a gas are made by kinetic theory.

Answer 1

In a gas (at 'normal' conditions of temperature & pressure), the particles :

1. Do not have a measurable volume (in other words, they take up no space).
2. They do not interact with each other (there are no intermolecular attractive forces between them).
3. They are in constant, random motion, traveling in straight lines and any collisions with other gaseous particles are perfectly elastic.
