Gases are made up of independent particles (atoms or molecules) moving in rapid motion in a straight line . The molecules/ atoms exert no attractive or repulsive forces between them .i.e they are independent. When the atoms collide with others or with any surface, there is no loss of velocity ( momentum is conserved) ,Continue reading “Assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory of ideal gas .”

E.g ice ( water in solid state) , liquid water and steam/ water vapour ( water in gaseous state ) . In the solid state,Continue reading “States of matter”
