We derive from the continuum kinetic theory a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model with intermolecular interaction. The resulting model is found to be consistent with the model previously derived from a lattice-gas cellular automaton [X. Shan and H. Chen, Phys. Rev. E 47, 1815 (1993)] but applies in a much broader domain. A number of important insights are gained from the kinetic theory perspective. First, it is shown that even in the isothermal case, the energy equipartition principle dictates the form of the equilibrium distribution function. Second, thermal diffusion is shown to exist and the corresponding diffusivities are given in terms of macroscopic parameters. Third, the ordinary diffusion is shown to satisfy the Maxwell-Stefan equation at the ideal-gas limit.
