kinetic theory
kinetic theoryn. A theory of the thermodynamic behavior of matter, especially the relationships among pressure, volume, and temperature in gases, based on the dependence of temperature on the kinetic energy of the rapidly moving particles of a substance. The theory uses statistical mechanics under the presumption that energy and momentum are conserved in all collisions between particles.kinetic theory n (General Physics) the kinetic theory a theory of gases postulating that they consist of particles of negligible size moving at random and undergoing elastic collisions.

kinetic theory
kinetic theory[kə′ned·ik ′thē·ə·rē] (statistical mechanics) A theory which attempts to explain the behavior of physical systems on the assumption that they are composed of large numbers of atoms or molecules in vigorous motion; it is further assumed that energy and momentum are conserved in collisions of these particles, and that statistical methods can be applied to deduce the particles' average behavior. Also known as molecular theory. kinetic theory
