* Gas particles are in constant, random motion. They move in straight lines until they collide with other particles or the container walls.
* Gas particles are very small compared to the distances between them. This means they occupy negligible volume compared to the space they move in.
* Collisions between gas particles and container walls are perfectly elastic. This means there is no loss of kinetic energy during collisions.
* There are no attractive or repulsive forces between gas particles. They only interact through collisions.
* The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This means as temperature increases, the average speed of the particles also increases.
Let me know if you would like to know more about how these postulates relate to the behavior of gases!
