Kinetic Molecular Theory and its Postulates

The video explains the kinetic molecular theory, which consists of five postulates that describe the behavior of gas particles. These postulates help derive the ideal gas laws, such as Boyle's, Charles's, and Amontons' laws, by explaining the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature. The theory assumes gas particles are in constant motion, occupy negligible space, and have elastic collisions, with their kinetic energy proportional to temperature.
