In the kinetic molecular theory of gas behavior,particles of a gas tend to move ________ and collisions between them are ________.
A)rapidly,rare
B)slowly,rare
C)rapidly,elastic
D)slowly,elastic
E)slowly,unusual

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the kinetic molecular theory of gas behavior, particles of a gas tend to move rapidly and collisions between them are elastic, meaning they adhere to the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. Option A is partially correct as particles tend to move rapidly, but collisions between them are not rare. Option B and E are incorrect as particles do not tend to move slowly. Option D is incorrect as collisions between particles are not slow, but elastic.
