    | • | 2.The molecules
    of a gas are in constant, 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | rapid, random
    straight line motion 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | (Brownian motion)
    with no attractive 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | forces btn
    the the molecules.

    | • | 3.The collisions
    the molecules make with 
 | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | themselves and
    with  the walls of the 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | container are
    elastic collisions. In other 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | words energy is
    transferred from one 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | molecule to
    another in a collision but the 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | total energy of
    the molecules stays the 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | same.
