Kinetic Theory — NEET/JEE Questions, Notes & Weightage
Class 11 Heat & Thermodynamics NEET weightage: Medium 161 questions
Covers the kinetic theory of gases, the relationship between pressure and molecular motion, degrees of freedom, and the law of equipartition of energy. RMS-speed numericals and degrees-of-freedom-based specific heat calculations are the most exam-relevant parts.

What numerical is most common?
Calculating RMS speed, average speed, or most probable speed of gas molecules at a given temperature is the most frequently repeated question type.
Is the law of equipartition of energy tested directly?
Yes — using degrees of freedom to find the specific heat capacity (Cv, Cp) of monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic gases is a standard, recurring application.
