What is kinetic theory

Kinetic theory is a branch of theoretical physics that describes the behavior of gases in terms of the motion of their constituent particles. It postulates that gases are composed of a large number of small particles, such as atoms or molecules, that are in constant random motion. The theory explains various properties of gases, including pressure, temperature, and volume, based on the motion and interactions of these particles.
