Which of the following is NOT part of the kinetic molecular theory of gases?

A. There is very little empty space in a gas

B. Gas particles do not attract or repel one another

C. Gas particles move faster when the temperature increases

D. Gas particles move rapidly

Respuesta :

A. There is very little empty space in a gas in not part of the kinetic molecular theory of gases.

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory of gases follows following points:

Kinetic energy does not change or get dissipated when gas molecules collide with each other. No attraction or repulsion between gas particles is observed. Particles of  gas are moving randomly in all directions. Temperature increase cause the rapid movement of gas particles.The gas particles are placed very far from each other as compared to liquid.

The empty space in a gas is large because gas gets compressed in the small volume of the container also.
