An imaginary substance assumed to behave independently, unaffected by other particles, and used to model real gas behavior. Kinetic Molecular Theory
A framework using real gas data to predict how imaginary particles would move and interact under specific assumptions. Postulate
A foundational statement outlining a specific behavior or property assumed for theoretical modeling. Elastic Collision
An interaction where particles bounce off each other or container walls without energy loss or force attraction/repulsion. Root Mean Square Speed
A calculated value representing the average velocity of particles, increasing with temperature. Temperature
A measure directly influencing how fast particles move, with higher values causing greater velocities. Volume
The space occupied by a substance, considered negligible for individual particles in theoretical models. Container
The boundary within which particles move, collide, and whose size dwarfs the space taken by individual particles. Gas Molecule
A tiny particle moving rapidly, occupying minimal space, and modeled as unaffected by others in ideal scenarios. Attractive Force
A type of interaction absent in theoretical models, where particles do not pull toward each other. Repulsive Force
A type of interaction ignored in ideal models, where particles do not push away from each other. Trajectory
The path followed by a moving particle, altered by collisions in real scenarios but not in idealized ones. Stoichiometry
A calculation method used to relate quantities in chemical reactions, including those involving gases. Imaginary Gas
A hypothetical substance used for modeling, assumed to lack real-world interactions and complexities. Momentum
A property of moving particles, conserved during elastic interactions in theoretical models.
