The kinetic theory of gases has 5 postulates
Chinwuba Chukwuebuka Valerian
- The molecules in a gas are small and very far apart. Most of the volume which a gas occupies is empty space.
2 Gas molecules are in constant random motion. Just as many molecules are moving in one direction as in any other.
3 Molecules can collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Collisions with the walls account for the pressure of the gas.
4 When collisions occur, the molecules lose no kinetic energy; that is, the collisions are said to be perfectly elastic. The total kinetic energy of all the molecules remains constant unless there is some outside interference with the
5 The molecules exert no attractive or repulsive forces on one another except during the process of collision. Between collisions, they move in straight lines.

You're explaining the kinetic theory of gas and the question is taking about kinetic theory of matter

Kinetic theory of gases has four postulate
1.A gas consists of molecules in constant random motion.
2.Gas molecules influence each other only by collision they exert no other forces on each other.
3. All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic ;all kinetic energy is conserved.
4.The volume actually occupied by the molecules of a gas is negiligbly small
