KMT

In chemistry, KMT stands for Kinetic Molecular Theory. It is a theory that gases have certain Molecular properties.

Here are the properties:

1. The volume of gas particles themselves is assumed to be negligible.

2. Gas molecules are said to be in constant, random motion.

3. The collisions between particles are completely elastic, meaning the particles lose no kinetic energy upon the impact of other particles.

4. The temperature of a gas is the measure of the average Kinetic energy of the gas particles.

Today in chemistry, we learned the properties of gases based on the KMT.
