Kinetic Molecular Theory
Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT), including its five assumptions, and Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions. It explains the relationship between temperature, kinetic energy, and molecular speed. The guide also provides practice applying these concepts to AP exam-style questions, including a breakdown of a 2019 free-response question. Ideal gas behavior and PLIGHT conditions are also discussed.
