According to the kinetic molecular model, in gases, the molecules are very fast apart and occupy all the space made available. This means that gas molecules are in constant random motion and they move freely in all directions without any regular arrangement. They collide with each other and with the walls of the container, exerting pressure. The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. The higher the temperature, the faster the gas molecules move, and the higher the kinetic energy.
