The Kinetic Molecular Theory , a theory to explain the nature of gases
5 major points to consider with the 'KMT'
1)A gas is composed of very small particles called molecules, which are widely spaced and occupy negligible volume compared to the volume of the container. A container of gas is comprised mostly of the empty space between molecules. (except at high temperatures)
2)The molecules of a gas are in rapid, random motion, colliding with each other and the sides of the container. Pressure is a result of these collisions with the sides of the container.

5)The temperature of a gas is related to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. Also, at the same temperature, different gases have the same average kinetic energy
PS- thermodynamics, chemical kinetics is no fun
