  • Ideal Gas
    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.
