The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) is based on five postulates:

  1. Matter is composed of a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules) that are in constant motion.
  2. These particles move in straight lines until they collide with each other or with the walls of their container.
  3. The collisions between particles are perfectly elastic, meaning there is no loss of kinetic energy.
  4. The average kinetic energy of the particles is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas in Kelvin.
  5. There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the particles, and the volume of the particles themselves is negligible compared to the volume of the gas.
