In the kinetic molecular theory of gas behavior,the assumption is made that gas molecules ________.
A)move rapidly in random directions
B)are attracted to each other by strong forces
C)are close together in their container
D)move with a kinetic energy equal to their centigrade temperature
E)occasionally come to rest

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinetic molecular theory assumes that gas molecules move rapidly in random directions, which leads to their constant collisions and interactions. This assumption forms the basis for many of the observed macroscopic properties of gases, including their pressure, volume, and temperature relationships. The other options (B, C, D, and E) are not in line with the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory.
