understanding, let’s compare gas particles to people in a
crowded dance floor. Too many people too close together
means there are a lot of collisions. Most of the time a
bump doesn’t create any problem, but occasionally a
collision between two couples can be harder than usual. Let’s try to solve this problem:

KINETICMOLECULAR THEORY which we will dig
deeper as we proceed in this lesson.
Let’s investigate if there is an interrelationship
among properties of gases.
Gas particles have a very weak intermolecular
force of attraction; hence they move as far as possible
from each other. They have the tendency to occupy all the
spaces they are contained in.
Why is there a need to convert °C to K?

Kelvin is the basic unit for measuring
temperature in the International System (SI). It denotes
the absolute temperature scale with absolute zero as the
starting point - whereby zero Kelvin or absolute zero is
theoretically the lowest attainable temperature. Kelvin

molecules and with the walls of the container. The
frequency of collision is affected by temperature because
gas molecules move faster at high temperatures, on the
other hand, they move slowly at low temperature. The
faster the movement of the molecules, the more frequent
the collision, causing an increase in pressure.

The kinetic-molecular theory is a theory that
explains the states of matter and is based on the idea that
matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in
