Question

Which statement is not a part of the kinetic molecular theory?

a) Gas particles are in constant motion.
b) Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy.
c) Gas particles have negligible volume.
d) Gas particles attract each other.

Answer 1

Gas particles attract each other is not a part of the kinetic molecular theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory of gases has five assumptions. One of these assumptions is that gas particles have no forces of attraction or repulsion between them. In other words, gas particles do not attract each other. This means that statement d) 'Gas particles attract each other' is not a part of the kinetic molecular theory.
