The kinetic molecular theory as applied to liquids differs in two major ways from the theory as applied to gases.One of these is that:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attractive forces between molecules become significant in the kinetic molecular theory as applied to liquids, which is not the case in the theory as applied to gases. This is because the molecules are closer together and have fewer degrees of freedom to move, making the forces between them more important. The other choices are incorrect because molecules still appear as discrete particles, energy changes still result from collisions, molecules are still in motion, and forces between molecules are still electrostatic in character (just with a different magnitude).
