Kinetic-molecular theory assumes that attractive and repulsive forces between gas particles are stronger than those between gas particles and container walls.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kinetic-molecular theory assumes that gas particles are in constant random motion with negligible volume and no attractive or repulsive forces between them. It also assumes that collisions between gas particles and container walls are elastic, meaning that there is no net loss of energy during the collision. Therefore, the theory does not make any assumption about the relative strength of attractive and repulsive forces between gas particles and container walls.
