Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

None of the options accurately describe gas molecules in the lower atmosphere. Gas molecules in the lower atmosphere are in constant motion and regularly collide with each other, but are not strongly bound to each other. While there may be occasional chemical reactions that result in explosions, this is not a characteristic behavior of gas molecules in the lower atmosphere. Gas molecules also do not tend to stay at rest for any significant length of time.
