Kinetic Theory

This topic explains the molecular nature of matter. It also discusses the atomic hypothesis in ancient India and Greece and describes the mean free path with illustration here.

In this topic, we will learn the ideal gas based kinetic theory. It also describes pressure and kinetic interpretation of temperature with different formulas and equations discussed here.

This topic discusses the example of two independent axes of rotation of a diatomic molecule. The law of equipartition of energy is illustrated with formulas and derivation here.

This topic deals with the concept of specific heat capacities of gases including monatomic, diatomic and polyatomic gases. With the aid of examples, it briefs on the formulas and their uses.

This topic explains that molecules in a gas have rather large speeds of the order of the speed of sound. It also explains the formulas and examples with diagrams.
