Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas. If the molecules completely missed each other, this would suggest that they were not interacting or colliding with each other. In this case, the kinetic energy of the individual molecules would not change and therefore, the average kinetic energy and the temperature would also stay the same.
