Postulate #1: The force of attraction among molecules are negligible.

Postulate #2: The molecules make elastic collisions. (kinetic energy concerved)

Postulate #3: Despite contineous motion of molecules, the density remains constant.

There are five assumptions

1.Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles that are far apart relative to there size.

2.Collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls are elastic collisions. An Elastic collision is on in which there is no loss of kinetic energy.

3.Gas particles are in continuous, rapid, random motion. They therefore possess kinetic energy.

4. There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.

5. The average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on the temperature.

gas particles have little to no attraction for each other and have a negligible (insignificant) volume that needs not to be accounted for

When gas particles collide with one another and with the wall of the collision is elastic, ie there is no loss of energy.
