Monoatomic gases consist of single atoms not bonded to others. They include noble gases like helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. These gases are chemically inert due to their stable electron configurations. They exist in a gaseous state at ...

Kinetic theory of gases explains gas behavior using molecules in constant motion. It states that gas molecules move randomly collide elastically and obey Newton’s laws. Pressure results from collisions with container walls. Temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy. This ...
Gas molecules move freely in all directions and have high kinetic energy. They are widely spaced with weak intermolecular forces. They collide elastically with each other and container walls. Their movement depends on temperature and pressure. Gases expand to fill ...
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. It depends on mass and speed. Faster or heavier objects have more kinetic energy. It is calculated using the formula KE = ½ mv². Kinetic energy can be ...
An ideal gas follows the ideal gas law without interactions between molecules. It obeys Boyle’s, Charles’s, and Avogadro’s laws. Its particles move randomly in constant motion. Collisions are perfectly elastic. Temperature relates to kinetic energy. It is hypothetical and useful ...
