The Kinetic Molecular Theory
Slide 5 / 140 The Kinetic-Molecular Theory
This revolutionary theory was developed by Ludwig Boltzmann in the late 1800's. It was based on the idea that matter is made up of atoms and molecules too small to be seen... ideas that were rejected by most scientists until the early 1900's...only a 100 years ago. This theory connects the microscopic world of atoms and molecules with the macroscopic world around us and helps us greatly understand the behavior of gases.
