FINAL REMARKS
The first part of this chapter introduces how we describe and predict the macroscopic behavior of gases. The general gas law allows us to calculate the change of physical properties when a gas undergoes certain process. The second part of the chapter links the macroscopic behaviors of gases to our microscopic understanding using atomic model. The three main physical properties: gas pressure, volume and temperature are explained by kinetic model.
