Answer:
Explanation:
The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that:
(1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size;
(2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and
(3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat. These simplifying assumptions bring the characteristics of gases within the range of mathematical treatment.
