6. Kinetic Molecular Theory
There is a theory that modern day
chemist’s use to explain the
behaviors and characteristics of
gases - the Kinetic Molecular
Theory of Matter.
• The word kinetic refers to motion.
• The word molecular refers to
8. ANY gas that exists is a REAL gas.
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, helium etc…
In most usual conditions ( STP) most
real gases behave qualitatively like
an ideal gas. Real gas can be treated
like ideal gases within reasonable
tolerances.

13. Gases have mass.
• Gases seem to be weightless, but
they are classified as matter, which
means they have mass.
• The density of a gas – the mass per
unit of volume – is much less than
the density of a liquid or solid,
however.
15. The Kinetic-Molecular theory
explanation of it is that we assume
that gases are composed of a
collection of particles.
Mass of gas is measured in
MOLES.
MOLES= NUMBER OF GAS
MOLECULES
16. EXPANSION
Gases expand to fill any
container.
random motion, no attraction
Gases are fluids (like
liquids).
no attraction
Gases have very low
densities.
no volume = lots of empty
18. If I opened up a bag of popcorn in
front of the class you would soon be
able to smell it in the back.
The popcorn smell is a high energy
molecule or group of molecules that is
in the gas state.
There are really two properties going
on here:
- This property of gases spreading out
until they have filled the room
- And the property of diffusion
19. Gases diffuse
The Gases can move through each other
rapidly.
movement of one substance through
another is called diffusion.
Because of all of the empty space
between gas molecules, another gas
molecule can pass between them until
each gas is spread out over the entire
20. Diffusion explains why gases are
able to spread out to fill their
containers.
It’s why we can all breath oxygen
anywhere in the room.
It also helps us avoid potential
odoriferous problems.
22. COMPRESSIBILITY
Gases can be compressed.
no volume = lots of empty space
Gases undergo diffusion & effusion.
random motion
23. Pressure depends on Temperature
The higher the temperature
of a gas -the higher the
pressure that the gas exerts
The reverse of that is true
as well, as the temperature
of a gas decreases – the
pressure decreases.
26. - the average kinetic energy of the
particles that make up an object
TEMPERATURE
The higher the temperature the
more the energy
The more the energy the more
impacts the gases administer
The more the impacts or
collisions the more the pressure
27.
28. Temperature
Always use absolute temperature (Kelvin)
when working with gases.

30. Gases exert pressure
The sum of all of
the collisions
makes up the
pressure the gas
exerts.
Gas particles exert pressure by
colliding with objects in their
path.
31. The gases push against the walls of
their containers with a force.
The pressure of gases is what keeps our
tires inflated, makes our basketballs
bounce, makes hairspray come out of
the can, etc.
34. Atmospheric PressureAtmospheric Pressure
Low pressure or dropping
pressure indicates a change of
weather from fair to rain.
High pressure is an
indication of clear
skies and sun.
It all has to do with
the amount of air
pressing down on
