NEET PhysicsNCERT Class 11Kinetic Theory of Gases

Kinetic Theory: NEET questions with solutions

NEET uses this chapter for the average kinetic energy (3/2)k_BT, rms speeds and their ratios, P = ⅓nm⟨v²⟩ and PV = ⅔E, Dalton's law, equipartition with C_v, C_p and γ for different gases and mixtures, and the mean free path. Marks are lost by using grams per mole in v_rms, Celsius instead of kelvin, and thinking heavier molecules carry more kinetic energy at the same temperature.
