It models the properties of matter in terms of continuous random motion of molecules. The temperature of gases is proportional to the average translational kinetic energy of molecules. Hence, the typical speed of gas molecules vrm is proportional to the square root of the temperature and inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass.
