This is a model which explains the behavior of gases at the molecular level.
There are 5 points to this theory:
(simply click on each theory...)
| 1. | gases are fluids |  |
| 2. | gases have low density | |
| 3. | gases are compressible | |
| 4. | gases fill their container & exert pressure | |
| 5. | temperature is porportional to kinetic energy |
