Molecules are surrounded by electrons, and have protons in the middle, right? From a distance, the positive and negative charges cancel out and nothing happens. But when two molecules or atoms get really close to each other, then the electrons in molecule A are way closer to the electrons than to the proton in molecule B, so they repel each other, and vice-versa. This is why you can touch things, even though atoms are just empty space.

What happens to air molecules when air is heated?

The entropy (order of the matter) increases. Kinetics, the measurement of movement, states that when matter (atoms and molecules) are heated, they move faster and begin to collide with one another or, against the boundaries of the system they are in (flask, earl-meyer glass). Also, at certain temperatures, they will ignite, much like in the movies when a fast moving object enters the Earth's atmosphere from space.

What are the assumptions of the kinetic theory.?

Kinetic energy is the energy produced or exerted by an object in motion. The three assumptions are, that there is matter (the object exists), it is moving (in motion), and it is producing or exerting energy.
