Which statement is true according to the kinetic theory?

Only gases show random motion of particles.
Only gases and liquids show random motion of particles.
Solids have a fixed shape, so they do not show random motion of particles.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option d:All states of matter show random motion of particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

According to kinetic theory, all states of matter have particle motion.

In the gas state the molecules are free and have a lot of movement.

In the liquid state the molecules are a little closer together but still have movement.

In the solid state, the molecules are more compact and although they do not have so much movement, they all vibrate in place. So they also have movement.

The correct answer is the option d:All states of matter show random motion of particles

The correct answer is option D. i.e.All states of matter show random motion of particles.ding to the kinetic theory

According to the kinectic theory of matter, all the particles show random motion at the room temperature. Decreasing the temperature to absolute zero temperature i.e. 0 K will cease the motion of particles.
