Kinetic theory
Accepted Answer
Kinetic theory describes the behavior of gases based on the motion of their molecules. It postulates that gas molecules are in constant random motion, colliding with each other and the container walls. This motion leads to pressure, temperature, and volume relationships, explained by laws like Boyle's, Charles's, and Avogadro's. The theory also helps explain diffusion and effusion, processes involving the movement of gas molecules.
