Kinetic theory of gases NEET MCQ with Answers:

Kinenc theory of matter has remarkable success in explaining  properties of matter for which the theory was developed. The matter made up of atoms or molecules or particles which are in random motion is called kinetic theory. The properties of matter are explained on basis of kinetic molecular model. This model consists of 

i) A large number Of minute particles are called molecules 

ii) They are in state of random motion, 

iii) These are attracted with each other with an intermolecular force.

In solid the molecules are closely packed and they exert strong forces  of interaction on each other. In a liquid, molecules are free to move inside the liquid and intemolecular forces are comparatively weaker. Gaseous state is one of the important states of matter. It can expand to any extent. It can also be compressed to smaller and smaller volumes.

Also for gases pressure, volume, temperature and moles of substance are related to each other by fairly accurate simple gas law equations. Using these equations, we can determine the vanous parameters such as pressure, volume etc. Kinetic theory of gases was developed by Clausius, Maxwell and Boltzmann. In this article we provides you  kinetic theory of gases.
